Abstract
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.
Description
The reports describes "an annual investigation of critical forest health issues, including the identification of priority areas across the state where current forest conditions demand timely action."
