Wildfire season is fast approaching, and community members in the San Isabel, Beulah, Rye, and surrounding areas have an opportunity to reduce this risk by properly clearing and disposing of natural woody debris from your property. For that reason, ARWC and the US Forest Service have partnered to host slash collection events throughout the summer to provide a way for landowners to properly dispose of their slash.
