Join Boulder Watershed Collective, Four Mile Fire Protection District, the City of Boulder, Boulder Fire-Rescue, and the Colorado State Forest Service for a free Slash Pile Burn Discussion Field Day. Local fire and forestry professionals will show us how slash piles are built and walk us through what goes into planning a burn, from choosing the right weather window to managing smoke. There will be no active fire at this event.

You’ll also hear how the City of Boulder’s Tram Hill project uses forest thinning and pile burning to reduce wildfire risk around critical drinking water infrastructure.

We will met at the Fourmile Link Trailhead, Betasso Preserve, in Fourmile Canyon. We’ll walk through burn procedures in the field with no live fire. Bring your questions, warm layers, and sturdy footwear for the weather and terrain.

***Please carpool if possible, as parking is limited. There is also inconsistent cell service, so please have your directions handy before leaving reception.***
