Overview
The Colorado Forest Health Council is a volunteer stakeholder body whose role is to provide a collaborative forum to advise the Governor, through the Executive Director of the Department of Natural Resources, and the Colorado General Assembly, on issues, opportunities, and threats to Colorado’s forests.
Primary Duties
The Council, previously housed at the Colorado State Forest Service, was reestablished during the Colorado 2021 Legislative Session with 26 members representing all corners of Colorado. The Council's updated mission includes improving forest health in Colorado through integrated, science-based approaches, with a focus on cross-jurisdictional collaboration among federal, state, and local governments, as well as private and nonprofit partners to reduce wildfire risk, restore ecological resilience, safeguard communities and water supplies, mitigate and adapt to climate change, support local economies, and protect recreation areas.
2055 Vision for Forest Health in Colorado- Draft for Public Comment
Colorado's 2055 Vision for Forest Health is ready for review and input. The Forest Health Council undertook this important project in 2024, with robust representation contributing to the drafting process, facilitated by Fire Adapted Colorado with graphic illustration by Heartwood Visuals. Adopting a longer-term vision as a guiding star should help us find our roles and guide our actions toward achieving the future healthy forests in which we want future generations to live and play.
Please view the Draft Vision and add any input that would clarify or strengthen the vision via this input form, designed to collect Stakeholder input on the Forest Health Council's Draft 2055 Vision for Forest Health. Fire Adapted Colorado and Heartwood Visuals will work closely with Forest Health Council leadership to integrate input received through this survey. Stakeholder input will be accepted until Noon on Monday, January 13th.
