Preventing Wildfire by Strengthening Forest Health
As part of my longstanding push to ensure that Colorado and the West have ample resources to prevent and combat wildfire, I'm always looking for ways to partner with other states and local organizations to reduce wildfire risk. That's why I'm a strong supporter of the Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes, a bipartisan set of initiatives that work to confront forest health issues head-on. To ensure that these job-creating and innovative programs can continue to strengthen our forests and mitigate wildfire risk, I once again joined my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to urge the administration to support these programs in this year's budget. Collaborations like these are a win for both the safety and economic development of Colorado communities.
If you have further questions about this or any other issue, please contact me with your concerns.
