Chris Jackson,manager for the 2007 Colorado College State of the Rockies Project, will lead a discussion of key findings from the report with an emphasis on the impact of climate change and deteriorating forest health to the communities of Colorado’s central and northern mountains, including Summit County, starting at 7:30 a.m. Thursday, April 17, at the Best Western Lake Dillon Lodge in Frisco.
The State of the Rockies Project addresses forest health and the importance of fire mitigation and disease in the region, energy development impacts on Rockies’ communities and infrastructure, water use in the Rockies and the growing need for agriculture to urban water transfers, and trends in new communities, including “new urbanism”.
Jackson’s appearance is another example of how the Mountain Pine Beetle Task Force provides opportunities for the public to learn more about the impacts of our landscape-changing bark beetle infestation and how public-private partnerships seek to address them.
