Boulder County Community Wildfire Protection Plan
The current Boulder County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) was completed in 2011. It is the result of the hard work of hundreds of residents, stakeholders, and agency staff.
An estimated 122 individuals directly contributed to the contents of the plan’s 16 chapters, 10 appendices, 45 maps, 10 videos, 20 figures and tables, 41 photos, and 29 text boxes. Many more provided input to and/or reviewed drafts of the document. We owe special thanks to members of the plan’s Core Team, Citizen Advisory Team, Foresters Work Group, and Risk Assessment Work Group for their dedication and vision.
