Crystal Fire: Let's Get GrowingWith fire season just starting, and now this catastrophe in Jefferson County, we thought it might not hurt to provide a little positive thinking for those people living along the Front Range. The pine beetle and wildfires are devastating our current forest and many of us may not be around to see the next one fully mature. However, we can help assure that the next forest will be healthier and more resistant to fire and insect infestations by passing the lessons we are learning on to the next generation. On May 12, Deb and Dennis Pedersen, whose home was destroyed during the Crystal Fire last year, and their Moody Park neighbors in Larimer County are hosting a celebration to thank the community for its generosity and support during that recent catastrophe. They would like everyone to begin thinking proactively by starting the next forest. ________________________________ Tree Campus USA and Arbor Day CelebrationGreetings Tree Farmers- You are invited to a Tree Campus USA and Arbor Day Celebration on April 20th.

A surge of unplanned development and unsustainable logging is threatening the future of an iconic landscape in the upper Midwest. AFF, along with local and regional partners, is reaching out to landowners to encourage them to maintain the region's forest cover by implementing the kind of sustainable forest management practices that will meet their goals for their land, and yield economic benefits.
