March is Women’s History Month and an excellent opportunity to learn more about the women who work in the Colorado State Forest Service across the state. Their enthusiasm for forestry, Colorado and the CSFS is contagious.
Healthy forests lead to healthy watersheds that provide drinking water to millions. In a changing climate, our forests need to be resilient in the face of drought, wildfire, insects and diseases to ensure water remains clean and accessible to people, wildlife and the landscape.
When foresters complete forest management and fuels reduction treatments, they sometimes pile up the leftover, non-merchantable material. Trained Colorado State Forest Service personnel then burn these piles as an economical and effective method of disposing of excess wildland fire fuels.
International Women’s Day is celebrated every year on March 8. The women on the CSFS GIS team play a huge role in keeping maps and data available to CSFS staff and partners across the state.
