2001 report on the condition of Colorado's forests
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2002) Colorado. Division of Forestry, author; Colorado State Forest Service, author
This 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.

2002 report on the health of Colorado's forests
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2003) Lewis, Paige, author; Wardle, Tom, author; Leatherman, Dave, author; Duda, Joe, author; Colorado. Division of Forestry, publisher
The 2002 Report on the Health of Colorado’s Forests reveals that many of our forested landscapes are under significant stress. Our changing human values and land management policies are partially responsible for this condition. But consecutive years of extreme drought have magnified existing vulnerabilities to insects, disease and wildfire.From widespread die-off in pinyon pine to record-setting wildfires on both the Front Range and the Western Slope, the events of the past year suggest that Colorado's forests need our attention. We demand and receive a number of benefits from our forested landscapes and watersheds. If we expect them to continue providing these services on a sustainable basis, we must identify those areas most at risk and work together to restore them to a more resilient condition.

Last year in Colorado, more than 1,400 fires burned 370,000 acres. Several years of drought made 2002 one of our state’s worst fire years. When we don’t get enough rain and snow our forests are in more danger from fire than usual. With hot summer temperatures and wind the danger grows.

2003 report on the health of Colorado's forests
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2004) Lewis, Page, author; Colorado. Division of Forestry, publisher
The 2003 Report on the Health of Colorado's Forests is the third installment in a series of publications intended to expand Coloradans' knowledge of and interest in our state's forest resources. Beginning in 2001, each of these Reports has presented valuable information on the diversity of our forests and highlighted some of the key issues that shape their current condition. At the heart of these documents is a challenge: What do we want from our forests and what do they need in order to continue to provide our desired benefits? The members of Colorado's Forestry Advisory Board have presented this question to numerous audiences, ranging from local civic groups to state officials and various professional associations. A number of communities have taken-up our challenge and begun engaging their residents in a dialogue about the condition and stewardship of their forests.
