Item Open Access 2017 report on the health of Colorado's forests: meeting the challenge of dead and at-risk trees(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2018) Barry, Pete, author; Duda, Joseph, author; Garrison, Kristin, author; Lockwood, Ryan, author; Mason, Lisa, author; Matthews, Susan, author; Mueller, Kim, author; Reader, Tim, author; West, Dan, author; Colorado State Forest Service, publisherFrequently being outdoors to enjoy Colorado's diverse and scenic environments is one of the reasons many of us call this state home. You don't have to drive, hike, pedal or paddle very far to appreciate the value that forests and trees bring to our lives, our communities and the natural world. Along your way, it may become apparent that many of our forests are overly dense and unhealthy; millions of acres of Colorado forestland also have been impacted by bark beetles in recent decades. But there's a silver lining to the problem of dead and dying trees in our forests: standing dead trees often continue to hold value for years, and currently are being utilized by wood products businesses in efforts that support forest management efforts. The annual Report on the Health ofColorado's Forests provides an overview of current forest conditions, the forces that are shaping them and actions being taken to address challenges. This year, we hope you will find of particular interest the special section on dealing with dead trees and forests at risk of insect mortality.Item Open Access 2018 report on the health of Colorado's forests(Colorado State University.
