Reporting for Heart of the Rockies Radio News, Joe Stone provides information from the Colorado State Forest Service about the Rodeo Road fuel break. Joe’s article also presents information from multiple research scientists that undermines the rationale for cutting trees to create a so-called “fuel break” in the forest.
According to information provided by the State Forest Service, the fuel break extends from state-owned land onto private property, and the work is publicly funded by Chaffee County and the U.S. Forest Service.
