A Life-changing Bitewritten by Ardella Hawks, Woodland owner After an encounter with a rattlesnake last week. I felt compelled to send what I wrote 8 years ago, Rattlesnakes have been moving to higher altitudes for some years now. Tree Farmers who may never have seen one now need to be alert. Here's why. ______________________ The Feds Are Fighting Forest Fires WrongContributed by "Take the Schultz Fire, a June 2010 scorcher that burned 15,000 acres outside Flagstaff. It cost $60 million to put out, but flood damage, lost property value, habitat loss, cleanup, and other post-fire costs more than doubled the bill to $146 million. That difference is largely carried by local agencies and residents. Spend that same $60 million on prevention, Vosick argues, and the other costs likely could have been avoided." _______________________ Lessons of the Hayman Firecontributed by This is a study of the 2002 Hayman fire that may give us a preview of how plant and animal species will react after more recent fires in Ponderosa forests particularly along the Front Range. _______________________ SAF-CSFS-Tree Farm CollaborationVideos of the presentations made at the recent SAF-CSFS-Tree Farm Collaboration Meet are now available on our YouTube channel: YouTube.com/ColoradoTreeFarmers

because every year my thoughts go back to this experience. I love this community, and my hope is everyone will have a better awareness for rattlesnakes.
