The Colorado State Forest Service celebrated a groundbreaking for new facilities at the CSFS Seedling Tree Nursery in Fort Collins. This renovation is fundamental to meeting critical reforestation needs in Colorado and other western states.
Gov. Polis and the Colorado General Assembly commit more funds to improvements at the nursery, citing the critical need for reforestation across the state.
In 2022 the Colorado Legislature passed House Bill 22-1323 that dedicated $5 million to fund improvements to the nursery. During the tour, Nursery Manager Scott Godwin showed the lawmakers and partners around the nursery grounds. He described the progress made with the funding, next steps and future opportunities for success and expansion.
On Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2022, Governor Jared Polis visited the Colorado State Forest Service Seedling Nursery on the Foothills Campus of Colorado State University.
