Fire
In the Boulder Area

What is the current state of our forest land?

Should forest fires be suppressed?

If so, how? Through controlled burns? Less urban sprawl?

Oct. 25 will be a day of discussion of fires, their impact on humans and nature and how we, as a community, should prepare. Be sure to join the discussion and give us your opinions.
