Breckenridge Forest Health and Fuels Project
The Dillon Ranger District of the White River National Forest is proposing a forest health and fuel reduction project in the vicinity of Breckenridge, Colorado. The project would focus on treating forests within the wildland/urban interface that have been severely affected by the mountain pine beetle epidemic. The Forest Service has identified approximately 5,700 acres of forest that extend from Farmers Corner on the north, to the Golden Horseshoe on the east, to Hoosier Pass on the south, and along the base of the Ten Mile Range on the west that could benefit from some kind of treatment.
