The White River National Forest is seeking public comment on a proposal that includes wildfire fuel reduction treatments and recreation improvements south of Frisco in the area known as the “Frisco Backyard.”  The Frisco Backyard is within the recently designated Camp Hale-Continental Divide National Monument, which recognizes the importance of managing the area’s natural and recreation resources. The proposed fuels reduction and recreation improvements are consistent with the management guidelines outlined in the Monument Proclamation. A public open house to provide information and answer questions about the proposal will be held by the staff from the White River National Forest on May 2, 2023 from 5:00 to 7:00pm at the Frisco Adventure Park Day Lodge at 621 Recreation Way. Comments about the proposal need to be received by May 15, 2023.
