Notes from the 1989 Berry Fire
We are fortunate to get a copy of the original notes from the 1989 Berry Fire on Mt Herman. Thanx to Donna Rezac for providing these.
CWPP Review Status
Happy New Year! Our CWPP has been approved by the Colorado State Forest Service, and by our own board of course. It’s currently in review with El Paso County and at Tri-Lakes Fire. Upon completion of those two reviews, and the hoped-for acceptance, we’ll bring it by the USFS.
