    2005 report on the health of Colorado's forests: aspen forests: special issue
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2006) Chase, Jen, author; Colorado State Forest Service, publisher
    The 2005 Report on the Health of Colorado's Forests highlights the ecology and management of the state's aspen forests and provides an expanded insect and disease update, with a particular focus on the mountain pine beetle and spruce bark beetle outbreaks currently spreading throughout Colorado's central mountains. Both sections of the Report underscore the need to address forest management in a proactive, rather than reactive, manner.

    2006 report on the health of Colorado's forests: lodgepole pine forests: special issue
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2007) Chase, Jen, author; Colorado State Forest Service, publisher
    It is with a sense of urgency that we present the 2006 Report on the Health of Colorado's Forests. This is the sixth in a series of reports developed by the Colorado State Forest Service with the guidance of the Colorado Forestry Advisory Board. The 2000 legislation requiring this report proved to be timely since the forests in Colorado have experienced a series of significant ecological events over the past decade, including the dramatic fire season of 2002 and the ongoing bark beetle epidemics. The 2006 report looks in depth at lodgepole pine forests and the bark beetle epidemics which continue to grow over hundreds of thousands of acres, killing trees and affecting communities throughout the state. Beetle-killed forests reduce scenic values, impact the economy, increase fire danger, and are therefore a major concern for many Coloradans.

    2007 report on the health of Colorado's forests: forest challenges today and tomorrow: special issue
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2008) Chase, Jen, author; Colorado State Forest Service, publisher
    The 2007 Report on the Health of Colorado’s Forests comes at a time when unprecedented changes are occurring in our natural environment. Never before have we experienced forest health issues of such multitude and magnitude. The health of our forests has immediate and long-term impacts on our communities and economies. Now, more than ever, what is happening to our forests affects all of us, from cities and suburbia, to rural dwellers. Because this is a critical time for our forests, this year's report provides a lookinto our future forests and how Colorado's people and forests overlap. It is a forward-looking document that will help guide our decisions and policies. Bringing a broad spectrum of forest health issues to light is the purview of this report. Taking action is the responsibility of Colorado's citizen and government leaders. Our actions will shape future forests, and thus the benefits that forests provide us.
