Southwest Colorado Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program launches new website

The San Juan National Forest is pleased to announce the launching of a new website to provide information about its Southwest Colorado Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP). The site, https://swcoforests.org, includes information about CFLRP-related projects and success stories, as well as resources ranging from partner information to wildfire preparedness.

The website was developed by a group of partners representing the CFLRP Communications Committee, led by Chairperson Paulette Church. "This website is a hub of information about forest restoration work from Dolores to Pagosa Springs," said Church. "It invites residents to reach out to dozens of partners to help with their missions. It's about our valuable trees and much more; the CFLRP will improve wildlife habitat, water quality, recreational use of our forest, the economic stability of our businesses, and the means to protect us all from mega fires.”

The purpose of the congressionally-established Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program is to encourage the collaborative, science-based ecosystem restoration of priority forest landscapes. The Southwest CFLRP includes a diverse group of stakeholders working together to carry out a shared vision of ecological restoration.

“We’re excited to launch this public portal to share and highlight the important natural resource work taking place in the CFLRP landscape in Southwest Colorado” said Dave Neely, Forest Supervisor on the San Juan National Forest. “It’s yet another example of the strong collaborative spirit that underpins all our shared efforts, and we thank the Communications Committee for their dedication and service.”
