Establishing a Community Forestry Sort Yard in the Nederland area

Over the next several years bark beetles will have a profound effect on Boulder County’s mountain backdrop and forested ecosystems.

In an effort to help private landowners deal with a multitude of dead, hazardous trees caused by extensive beetle-kill in the area, Boulder County plans to open a community-use facility next spring (2010) in the Nederland area that will accept limbed trees and branches at no cost to residents.
