OUR GOAL
Our natural resources are disappearing.
We're working to change that through conservation.
We're working to change that through conservation.

First Let's DISCOVER After decades of fire suppression, Colorado's landscapes have drastically changed. Our forests are overgrown and unhealthy, fuels that feed wildfires have increased dramatically, and species compositions have changed. The result of these changes are catastrophic wildfires, pest and disease outbreaks, and loss of critical wildlife habitat. |
Now Let's CONSERVE By restoring our forests to a state that is more representative of how they were structured over 100 years ago, our forest land will have higher degrees of resilience to wildfire, bugs and diseases, and droughts or floods. When creating a forest improvement plan, we consider all of these ecosystem impacts to ensure we’re providing an all-inclusive and ecology-based management plan. The Big Thompson Conservation District has a dedicated Conservation Forester that can help you determine if you are a good candidate for the program. |
Together we can CHANGE Through technical assistance and project management, Big Thompson Conservation District helps private landowners restore the health of the forests on their properties. Conservation Districts provide aid by obtaining funding through grants and/or local partner funding. We provide a hands on management approach by hiring and managing contractors through the entirety of a forest health restoration project. |
