Mixed Conifer Management Guidelines in the Southern Front Range, Colorado – A Brief Case Study of the Status of Our Knowledge of Ecology and Fire Science 

View the publication here!

This report, written in Spring 2012, focuses on a rapid assessment of the ecology and fire science for mixed conifer forests in the southern Front Range ‐‐ more specifically the science applicable to the Upper Fountain Creek watershed in the Pikes Peak area west of Colorado Springs, CO. This rapid assessment report is written to assist resource planners and implementers with sufficient
preliminary scientific guidelines to assure that initial treatments are within reasonable ecological
guidelines as identified by the scientific community.
