Project Overview
The Glen Isle Forest Health & Fuel Reduction Project is a collaborative effort aimed at enhancing forest health and reducing wildfire risks across 121.5 acres of private land. This project, implemented by Stewardship West under landowner agreements, encompasses work on three distinct private properties. These three properties have high amounts of hiking, mountain biking, disc golf, and fishing. Imagine losing access to your favorite mountain biking trails, hiking spots, or fishing holes due to a wildfire.
Our Role
Stewardship West intends to conduct Forest Health and Fuel Reduction (FHFR) treatments on approximately 136 acres of private land working with three separate landowners. These properties are all immediately adjacent to the North Fork of the South Platte River and are within the Denver Water Shawnee & Bailey Zone of Concern. The length riverbank that is within these three landowners is approximately 1.25 miles. These properties are also adjacent to USFS land and the McArthur Gulch State Trust Land and are sandwiched in between the public land and the North Fork USP River.
We are proud to be undertaking this vital work in partnership with the Jefferson Conservation District and with support from the USDA Forest to Faucets Grant.
