BACKGROUND
In order to address the mountain pine beetle infested Ponderosa trees and the potential
danger for wildfires, the City requested Colorado State Forest Service to submit a
proposal for the creation of a Forest Management Plan for Pueblo Mountain Park located
in Beulah, Colorado.
The Forest Management Plan for Pueblo Mountain Park would include the identification
and mapping of all mountain pine beetle infested Ponderosa trees, an analysis and
inventory of the current condition of the forest resources and their relationship to the
surrounding properties and recommendations for the future management of these
resources which would address long term problems in the park while conserving park
values.
During the preparation of this plan, the State District Forester will collaborate with
representatives from the Mountain Park Environmental Center. The Forest Management
Plan is tentatively set to be completed by March 1, 2002.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Colorado State Forest Service will prepare the Pueblo Mountain Park Forest Management
Plan for a cost of $4,500.00.
Funds for this plan will be provided from the Lottery Funds and all expenditures charged
to Account Number 401 - 000 - 600.70.10, Project Number CP0098.
