MISSION

The mission of the Colorado Forest Restoration Institute (CFRI) is to enhance the capacities of Colorado's land managers, landowners, collaborative forest health partnerships, and communities to mitigate forest wildfire risk to communities and improve forest resilience.

GOALS

  • Managers, communities and collaborative forest health partnerships have sufficient knowledge and information to make informed decisions about forest restoration and wildfire mitigation needs

  • Collaborative monitoring and adaptive management contribute to sustainable, resilient forest conditions and communities adequately protected from catastrophic wildfires

  • Wood biomass from forest treatment is utilized in ways that can help managers and stakeholders achieve desired ecological outcomes and provide economics opportunities

  • Collaborative forest health partnerships are effective in facilitating communication, building trust, and getting work done that achieves their shared goals
