Abstract
Annual reports on the health of Colorado's forests summarize the current health and condition of forests across the state. The primary measures for assessing broad forest health conditions are the severity and scope of insect and disease issues impacting forest ecosystems. For this reason, the backbone of this report offers a detailed summary of 2018 insect and disease activity in Colorado. This year's report also offers a special focus on how the Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS), working with key partners, is able to help protect communities from wildfires and other threats, through the use of forest management.
