dc.description.abstractThis year marks a milestone in tracking forest health and management in Colorado, with this publication representing the 15th annual report on the health of Colorado's forests. Throughout this period, we've witnessed many landscape level changes across Colorado. The forces and circumstances that have come together - climate and weather events, insects and diseases, wildfire and human impacts - have contributed to dramatic changes in the age and structure of our forests. And substantial growth is predicted in our wildland-urban interface, where human habitation intersects with natural vegetation and undeveloped land - an area currently only about 20 percent developed in Colorado. Increased development will make forest management even more challenging than in the past. The focus of these reports has varied over the years. Broader themes have included overarching topics such as forest stewardship and active management. Other, more focused reports provided readers with detailed descriptions of emerging and recurring threats, and specific forest types, such as high-elevation forests, lodgepole pine, aspen, ponderosa pine and urban and community forests. In this year's report, you will read about not only the current condition of our forests, but reflections on changes since the first report in 2001.
