Reforesting Colorado: This presentation highlights reforestation efforts that work with private landowners to reforest +3,000 acres of 7 conifer species following the 2018 Spring Creek wildfire. The project used innovative technology and techniques to promote a more resilient forest ecosystem through excellent partners and funding through new climate markets.

Learning Objectives:

  • The participant will be able to describe the reforestation strategies and techniques used to create a more fire and climate change-resilient forest.
  • The participant will be able to identify key factors in successful reforestation projects and apply them to their own forestry practices.
  • The participant will have more tools in designing socially responsible carbon projects at scale.
