RBC I The White River Conservation District has developed five forest health video spots to air on Rocky Mountain Public Broadcasting System (RMPBS). The videos emphasize the integral role active forest management plays in maintaining healthy forests.
Watch your RMPBS station (KRMA for cable and satellite subscribers and KRMJ for antenna users) for these spots, running through February. The videos are also available to view and share at www.whiterivercd.com.
Forest health is one of the White River Conservation District’s natural resource priority issues. The videos highlight the need for forest thinning, harvesting and controlled burns to reduce the effects of catastrophic fires and tragic floods following fires.
“We recognize that many residents of rural Colorado already understand the problems with our forests and the need for active forest management (Preaching to the Choir),” board members stated. “However, we see the need to reach beyond our local communities to those who may not be familiar with the problems we are currently facing.”

This project was made possible due to a matching grant from the Colorado State Conservation Board.
