Chaffee Chips Wildfire Mitigation Events are continuing into the fall, providing crucial support for landowners looking to create defensible space around their homes. The program is offering free neighborhood slash removal and chipping services in several geographic areas throughout the season.
This year’s remaining service dates include:
- October 22 through 24th in Lower Chalk Creek and Weldon Creek
- November 5th through 7th in Hayden Springs Ranch and Eureka Moon
Since its launch in 2020, Chaffee Chips has helped 750 landowners build 2,300 piles of slash that were either chipped on-site by the Colorado State Forest Service or hauled away by the Chaffee County Fire Protection District.
For landowners interested in reducing wildfire threats on their property, detailed information and guidance are available. You can request a free assessment from a Colorado State Forester by calling 719-539-2579.
