As a result of House Bill
00-1460, the Department of Natural Resources gained an invaluable
new asset – the State Forestry Division. The newly created
Division monitors the health of all forests in the state, including
national and private forests. The Division focuses on forest health,
rather than on the revenue generated from forest activities.
By
statute, the Division of Forestry is headed by the State Forester,
with advice and assistance from the newly created Forestry Advisory
Board, and staffed by the Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS), a
program of Colorado State University.
