Northern Colorado’s 2020 fire season included three major wildfires on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland (ARP). Cameron Peak Fire burned approximately 208,000 acres, East Troublesome Fire burned approximately 193,000 acres, and Williams Fork Fire burned approximately 12,000 acres. Due to the nature of the severity and topography, there are large areas within each fire footprint that are failing to revegetate naturally after three full growing seasons. Some areas within the footprints have experienced excessive erosion, debris flows and flooding.

The National Forest Foundation, in partnership with the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest and Pawnee National Grassland (ARP), are seeking proposals to apply seed in a way that has been found to increase the likelihood of germination and establishment for the purpose of revegetating select areas within each of the fire footprints.

Deadline:

Responses should be emailed by August 22, 2024.
