If only they could create a barrier against liberals. Then they could sell it to Aspen, Crested Butte, Durango, and Paonia.

Funny how liberal environmental wackos get some common sense when it is their houses on the line...

Rich liberals get firebreaks while they give money to groups who will sue if you try to build one.
Figures.

So cutting trees is OK to protect the part time houses of the limousine liberals, but it is improper to protect the proles?

Pine Beetles means too many trees-—more trees per acre than the average precipitation can sustain, thus dryer trees which are much more vulnerable to the beetles. The Trees they are cutting down now could have been logged all along, preventing the whole problem.
I’ve said it many times because it bears repeating....Environmentalists are BAD for the environment.

Glad to see the Colorado Forest Service getting off their duffs.
We had an article in our newspaper yesterday quoting them as saying that they've given up fighting them on the southern end of the San Isabel National Forest.
They also said that the only cutting going on is being done by private land owners adjacent to the forest. They got that part right!
It's so bad down here now that they'd have to clear cut the whole forest.

Money talks!
Here in Colorado the state line ends at Colorado Springs.
All the money for just about everything goes up north.

The mountain pine beetle epidemic has hit ...hard. Perhaps what is needed is the right pesticide.
To: george76
Wow!
A tip of the hat to “the powers that be” in Vail.
They’ve managed to manifest a level of sanity that is still in short
supply in Southern California.
(where a stange-bedfellows alliance of envirowackos and homeowners
leave the dead trees up for fuel during the next firestorm)

Apparently the liberal environmental wackos of Vail/Colorado
just aren't the totally committed idealogues that are in Southern
California (that refuse to budge on cutting down the dead trees).
Well, at least that was the case when I exited CA in 2005.

some of the felled trees will go toward a green cause: biomass energy.I usually call it firewood myself, but I guess this now helps me speak "Liberal"

Vail is learning liberal speak : biomass energy...versus just firewood.

The foresters in the forest service used to be able to use science in their decisions. Now the Sierra Club lawyers are often making the final decisions.
We have made some limited progress near towns ( Summit County, Grand County...) because the local politicans realize that it may be their necks at risk. South Lake Tahoe fires scared a few local politicans.
Private land owners generally make better decisions than these lawyers.
While building defensible zones around these towns is good, the forests generally are not healthy.
