Pike-San Isabel National Forests amp; Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands RSS Feeds

General Concept and Benefits of RSS Feeds

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a technology that allows organizations to deliver news and website updates to a computer or other Internet devices. A web feed is a file that contains a computer-readable summary or listing of the content of a Web page. The benefit of subscribing to a web feed is that you no longer need to visit the site itself to stay up to date. A "reader" or "aggregator" application constantly monitors the site and automatically shows you what's new. By subscribing to the RSS feed, users can easily stay up to date with new postings on the Forest Service web site. A simple click on any item listed will take you to that item.

What are RSS feed readers and how do I get one?

Really Simple Syndication (RSS), is another way for the USDA Forest Service to distribute information from the website. Using RSS, this website can feed the latest news articles, alerts, and other content to you automatically. To use RSS, you will need an RSS reader, such as My MSN, My Yahoo, Firefox Browser, and other downloadable readers. You will need to find the specific instructions for your service on how to receive alerts.

Is an RSS feed subscription an email list?

However, some email programs, including Outlook, support adding RSS feeds, and there are other methods of getting RSS feeds directly in your inbox. Search for that capability with your email program if you are interested in receiving new RSS content via email.

Highlights

  • Work begins on Pikes Peak Tornado restoration project
    On July 20, 2023, an EF1 tornado touched down on the northern slopes of Pikes Peak, resulting in extensive tree damage along the Pikes Peak Highway between mile markers 5 and 8. Meteorologists estimate the storm reached wind speeds over 110mph along its 2.18-mile path. As the tornado moved east, it crossed through Crystal Creek Reservoir before crossing back over the Pikes Peak Highway and finally lifting at mile marker 5. No injuries were sustained in the tornado, and the damage to the area is minimal. In partnership with the City of Colorado Springs Utilities and Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service will work with Stewardship West, a non-profit shared stewardship contractor, to remove uprooted and damaged trees across approximately 200 acres of National Forest System land.
  • The Bear Creek Watershed Restoration Project
    The Bear Creek Watershed Restoration Project began on-the-ground work in 2016 and work will continue for the foreseeable future. The project protects the greenback cutthroat trout (greenback) while allowing for appropriate and sustainable recreation in this very popular area. Research published in 2012 revealed that the fish in Bear Creek are the sole remaining genetically pure self-sustaining population of greenback cutthroat trout. The population is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will evaluate these findings and conduct a status review to determine if the population should be listed as endangered. Concerns about the vulnerability of the fish prompted an Environmental Assessment to find a solution to protect the fish while allowing for appropriate and sustainable recreation in this very popular area. The assessment was complete, and implementation started in 2016.
