Front Range Roundtable The Front Range Roundtable 9 Overlap of goals Fire Risk Mitigation Goals Ecological Restoration Goals ~400,000 acres ~700,000 acres The Front Range roundtable has reached consensus that 1.5 million acres of Front Range forests require treatments to reduce fire risk and/or achieve ecological restoration. Vision The Front Range Roundtable was formed to “serve as a focal point for diverse stakeholder input into efforts to reduce wildland fire risks and improve forest health through sustained fuels treatment along the Colorado Front Range.” Mission

Front Range Roundtable Source: Map by USFS-ARP 2008 Map of Priorities: Accomplishments vs. 2006 Recommendations 10 Notes on methods 1.Data collected back to 2004 to our best available knowledge (received for treated acres separately from planned acres as shown) 2.Excludes private land treated without the assistance of the CSFS 3.Excludes county lands treated in Park, Teller, Douglas, El Paso, and Grand. 4.Some of these areas have been treated with prescribed or natural burn and may not require additional near-term treatment. Some of these areas have been treated mechanically but still require prescribed or natural burn to achieve restoration. 5.Different databases are used between units/agencies. Data is comparable within a unit, but not between units. This should be resolved for 2009 and future years.

Front Range Roundtable Front Range Roundtable 2013-2015 Goals 18 Community Protection (CP) Team [draft goals] Landscape Restoration (LR) Team 1.Gather, analyze, and evaluate CFLR monitoring data in order to report to the Roundtable and Congress on whether forest treatments are trending towards desired conditions. 2.Gather, analyze, and evaluate new science and research methods to refine definitions of desired conditions 3.Implement Upper Monument Creek project as a model for collaborative forest treatment planning and implementation; identify similar opportunities for collaborative implementation planning on the AR Executive Team 1.Annually fundraise at least $50,000 2.Plan and execute quarterly Roundtable meetings and agendas 3.Respond to letter of support requests as needed 1.The community protection team will serve as a communication, networking, and information exchange among professionals working on community wildfire protection, wildfire mitigation, and private landowner education. 2.Increase stakeholder involvement in the Community Protection Team and devote one of the four larger Roundtable meetings each year to community protection issues. Wildlife Team 1.By Spring 2014, recommend a wildlife monitoring plan for the CFLRP by prioritizing an abridged list of species to monitor, hypothesizing expected post-treatment population trends for each target species, and proposing data collection and monitoring methods for each target species, with budgets 2.Identify opportunities for collaborating entities to contribute to monitoring implementation. Recommendations Refresh Team 1.Refine treatment priorities: Goal still to be defined (starting with review of USFS long terms treatment plans at May 31, 2012 meeting (done); add roadless rules boundaries to map (done); then possibly refine priority acres, based on feasibility [slope, access], other consideration of other forest types, such as mixed conifer; USFS insect risk map; COWRAP portal to add fire risk to treatment map) 2.Update the Front Range 10-County map of completed treatments Prescribed Fire Initiative Policy Initiative 1.Goal still to be defined (starting with checking in with prescribed fire council) 1.Goal still to be defined (Community Protection team will brainstorm ideas) = Top priorities= If capacity allows / in planning stages ? ? √ √

Will be led by Brett Wolk. Additionally, Glen and Erin will each provide a fire behavior person (may be the same employee). Glenn suggested utility people. Brett Wolk and CFRI: Draw up what the Roundtable consensus is on the role of mastication in ecological restoration. Ask Chad Hoffman to attend our next meeting Chuck Dennis Do initial research: Look at the mastication research from the Roundtable panel along with the state forest mastication work/recommendations. Rob, Paige and Recommendations Refresh Team: Revisit the mastication statements that are in our vision and work with the experts, etc. and get that updated. Other: Terra Lenihan: Ask Joseph Hansen if he would participate in the mastication team Give Mike Eckhoff our old list of Biomass people. 20 = Completed= On track= Needs attention= Deferred √ √ ? X
