Roadway treatments - before and after (Photo credit: David Cawrse)

Reduction of hazardous fuels and restoration of fire-adapted ecosystems through wildfire mitigation treatments in open space, along roadways and on private properties is a main goal of the Red Feather Lakes Area Wildfire Defense Project. Funding from this grant is available to treat up to 10 miles of roadway. Progress will be measured by roadway, by year, and by CWPP community.

Human-made changes in fuel characteristics that make roadways safer and more accessible for residents and firefighters.
