About Homeowners & Landowners

Owning property can be a wonderful experience. Many landowners enjoy the ability to view wildlife from their backyard, appreciate the beauty of their forest, and simply enjoy the serenity that their property affords. However, responsibilities come with owning land. There are also many questions landowners may have in regards to taking care of their property or forest. Often asked questions include: how can I reduce the risk of wildfire; how and when do I plant trees; can I enhance the wildlife habitat on my property; and how can I make my forest healthier? The Colorado State Forest Service can provide assistance in managing your land and answering these questions.

Protecting Your Home, Forest and Property From Wildfire

Homeowners and landowners can take a number of steps to protect their property and ensure that they do not assist in the spread of wildland fires. This includes clearing excess fuel, creating defensible space around their homes, and using FireWise practices. Many Coloradoans living in the foothills in ponderosa and lodgepole forests consider the fire-prone nature of these ecosystems.
