But more than that, Matt Jolly said, the study could help open firefighters' eyes to the dangers lurking in mountain pine beetle-infested forests where the trees still look to be alive and doing well. ________________________________________ Udall Commends One Denver Supplier for Stocking Beetle-Killed Lumber"Denver Lumber is filling a much-needed niche in Colorado by supplying beetle-killed wood to home builders. I applaud their leadership in putting beetle kill to use and supporting rural economies that depend on our forests," Udall said. ______________________________________ Seasonal Forestry Technician WantedThe Boulder County Parks & Open Space Department has an opening for a Seasonal Forestry Technician, to perform a variety of skilled and semiskilled duties in the management of county forests, including fuels reduction, insect and disease management, biomass utilization, and other wood harvesting related operations.
