Here you see the burn scar left by the Cameron Peak Fire in August of 2020. Colorado’s largest wildfire, raced toward communities and burned 19 buildings at DMC.
But where that fire hit areas treated with prescribed burns and forest restoration, including around DMC, we witnessed something powerful.
Our forest conservation work and prescribed burns have made our land healthier by reducing tree density which not only slows fires by preventing it from jumping from tree to tree, but also support resilient ecosystems: more sunlight reaching the forest floor, thriving understory plants, returning wildlife, and greater biodiversity.
Forest health is inseparable from water health, wildlife health, and human health. While decades of fire suppression have led to overly dense, shade-tolerant forests, we’re learning again what the land has always known—fire is part of this landscape. 🔥⛰
Thank you to the firefighters, forest management specialists, DMC land staff, and all those who continue to protect, restore, and steward these forests—on the ground, behind the scenes, and beyond our property lines.🌲🤍
