Sustainable forestry management workshop near Evergreen (rescheduled)
Rescheduled from June: a full-day field and classroom workshop on wildfire prevention, forest density, and pine beetle management near Evergreen.
Why we picked this
A day of hands-on forestry learning near Evergreen — covering the specific density, beetle, and fire dynamics shaping Colorado's foothills forests right now, with field components alongside classroom instruction.
Originally scheduled for June 13, this free workshop has been rescheduled to July 11 near Evergreen. The curriculum covers the forest management challenges most relevant to Colorado right now: climate change resilience, forest density thinning, wildfire prevention strategies, and pine beetle response. The day splits between classroom instruction and fieldwork, so participants walk away with practical skills, not just background reading.
The training is explicitly open to all experience levels — chainsaw-certified sawyers and complete beginners are equally welcome. Landowners, land managers, and volunteers who want to contribute to forestry projects later in the season are all good candidates. VOC actively encourages attendees to join follow-up field projects after completing the workshop.
Ages 16 and up. Free. Eleven spots were still available as of mid-June. Register by July 9; the specific location in the Evergreen area is confirmed to participants two weeks before the event.
