Front Range Grassland Fire Workshop

In Colorado, the Front Range can present unique fuel and weather conditions for wildfires. Combined with numerous wildland/urban interface and intermix settings, these conditions can be critical in wildfire management.

The Front Range Grassland Fire Workshop aimed to increase participant’s knowledge and understanding of the ecology, behavior, risks, and management of grassfire conditions on the Front Range.

Speakers from both the Front Range and the Great Plains discussed grassland fire ecology, history, current conditions, prescribed fire and management for urban, rural, and intermix areas.
