We created and maintain a website to educate on forest health and wildfire issues. We publish a monthly electronic newsletter to educate about 500 interested parties on forest health issues. We have created a Facebook page. We have expanded our volunteer forest monitoring of the Straight Creek Watershed to now include all of Summit County. We have over 200 monitoring plots throughout Summit County. This year we also monitored over 150 temporary plots designated by the U.S. Forest Service. We work in partnership with the Forest Service, state and local governments, and local non-profits. Partners and stakeholders include the Town of Dillon, Summit County government, the U.S. Forest Service, the Colorado State Forest Service, Friends of the Dillon Ranger District (a non-profit), and several watershed groups. We have expanded our forest restoration monitoring work in Straight Creek to monitor for long-term impacts of climate and localized variations in soil types on regeneration patterns. The purpose of our ongoing forest projects is to reduce wildfire danger, foster a more diverse forest, protect watersheds, and study forest conservation methods. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES We created and maintain two websites: www.greenlandsreserve.org and www.foresthealthtaskforce.org to inform and educate on conservation and forest health issues.
