Item Open Access 2001 report on the condition of Colorado's forests(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2002) Colorado. Division of Forestry, author; Colorado State Forest Service, authorThis report is the first of what will be an annual investigation of critical forest health issues, including the identification of priority areas across the state where current forest conditions demand timely action. We rely on our rich forest resource for a wide variety of benefits and services, such as improved air and water quality, wildlife habitat, wood products and recreation. A number of natural and human-induced forces impact the ability of our forests to sustain this productivity over the long-term. In many regions of the state, current forest health conditions threaten this lasting sustainability. Ownership of Colorado's forests lies in the hands of a diverse group of federal, state, local, tribal, private and non-profit entities. But in a larger sense, we are all accountable for promoting the responsible stewardship of this valuable natural resource. In order to effectively redeem this stewardship responsibility, land managers, government leaders and the public should better understand the variety of interactions that led to our current forest conditions and what options we have in the future. This first annual report provides a sound basis from which to begin a public dialogue on the future management of Colorado's forests.Item Open Access 2019 report on the health of Colorado's forests: celebrating the diverse regions of our state(Colorado State University.
