“Wildfires in Colorado” with Dana Coelho
2022-09-28 19:00 - 20:00 | Virtual
Wildfires are a natural part of Colorado’s forests. If you live in the wildland-urban interface in Colorado, where homes and other structures intermingle with wildland vegetation, you are at risk of being affected by wildfire. The Colorado State Forest Service recently updated the Home Ignition Zone (HIZ) Guide, an important resource for protecting homes and properties from wildfire, and is in the process of updating the Front Range Recommended Trees List and Vegetation List in collaboration with numerous partners.
Dana Coelho is the Urban & Community Forestry Program Manager for Colorado State Forest Service. Based out of the Broomfield Field Office, she works with colleagues and partners to sustain healthy and resilient forests that are integrated with and contribute to the wellbeing of all Colorado communities. She is an active board member of the Colorado Tree Coalition, ISA Rocky Mountain Chapter, and Metro Denver Nature Alliance. A huge tree nerd, Dana enjoys time outside with family and friends, exploring new places near and far, and live music and theater
