San Juan Headwaters

Since 2009, the San Juan Headwaters Forest Health Partnership works to provide a forum to share stakeholder perspectives in order to develop science-based collaborative priorities for management and monitoring of forests in the Pagosa Ranger District of the San Juan National Forest and on private and tribal land in Southwestern Colorado. Together, they aim to:

  1. Strengthen regional understanding of methods for improving forest health and watershed resilience
  2. Leverage collaborative processes and projects to secure state and federal funds
  3. Broaden knowledge of forest conditions and challenges
  4. Generate viable management approaches that support ecological and socio-economic needs
  5. Initiate projects to address identified needs, such as wildfire risk reduction and forest health improvement
  6. Monitor treatments to guide adaptive management practices
