Community Forestry Sort Yards to open in May
Mar 20th
“Spring is a great time of year to get out on your land and begin preparing your property for wildfires.”
Boulder County, Colo. – The Boulder County Forest Health Initiative is pleased to announce the Community Forestry Sort Yard operating schedule for 2013. Two sort yard locations are open each summer to provide residents a free of charge location to dispose of logs and slash cut from their land.
The sort yards do not accept yard clippings, raked up pine needles, root balls, construction materials, dirt, furniture, household trash or wood with metal in it. Sort yard staff will refuse loads that contain unacceptable items.
Allenspark/Meeker Park Sort Yard
- Spring hours: Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 24th thru June 15th
- Summer/Fall hours: Tuesday thru Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 30th thru Oct. 19th
Nederland Area Sort Yard
- Spring hours: Tuesday thru Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 1st thru July 6th (closed July 4th)
- Summer/Fall hours: Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 20th thru Oct. 12th (these dates are tentative)
The Community Forestry Sort Yards may have additional closures during the open season due to weather, staff training or other administrative requirements. To check the operational status of a sort yard please call 303-678-6368.
Boulder County encourages all of its residents to be good stewards of their backyard forest and to implement effective wildfire mitigation on their land.
“The spring is a great time of year to get out on your land and begin preparing your property for wildfires,” said Ryan Ludlow outreach forester with the county’s Land Use Department. “Simple actions like picking up downed branches, raking away all pine needles within 5 feet of your structures, cutting tall dead grass and moving leftover winter firewood piles off of porches and placing them at least 30 feet away from the home can really help improve the chances of your home surviving the next wildfire.”
If you want to learn more about how to implement effective wildfire mitigation on your land join us at the Nederland Community Center on May 11 for a half day workshop focused on “Firewise Landscaping.” Learn how to transform your home’s perimeter into an area that you can not only use, but also looks good and helps protect your home from wildfire.
For more information about the sort yard program or how to implement proactive wildfire mitigation on your land, contact Ryan Ludlow, Boulder County Forest Health Initiative’s outreach forester, at 720-564-2641 orrludlow@bouldercounty.org.

Student Government Elections at CU-Boulder, The PULSE is READY!
Oct 23rd
BOULDER, CO: October 24 -28th, 2011 – The University of Colorado at Boulder is holding their Student Government Elections this week. A two-party ballot, with student representatives running for positions within the College of Arts & Sciences and at large, the progressive PULSE ticket will be kicking off their campaign Monday 10/24 with a pep rally on the CU-Boulder campus.
The University of Colorado – Boulder student government manages a $36 million budget generated by student fees and operational revenue from the university cost centers, such as the Women’s Resource Center and Environmental Center.
Fresh from Spring 2011’s competitive campaign race, which saw the highest voter turnout in the history of CU-Boulder, the PULSE is eager to kickoff their campaign. The PULSE is an inclusive and multi-faceted ballot, with candidates representing a multitude of colleges and disciplines, international and underrepresented student populations. A few contentions of the PULSE platform include; making campus a safer place, maintaining and increasing CU-Boulder as the leading Environmentally Sustainable campus, re-accessing student fees, and in line with CU-Boulder’s Flagship 2030 initiative, strengthening the international student community.
The PULSE is running against the conservative leaning Value ticket. Voting ends Friday, October 28th at 8PM, and all CU-Boulder undergraduates, graduate, and law students are encouraged to vote on their MyCUinfo portals.
For more information please contact Brittni Hernandez, the PULSE media representative and candidate.
