Colorado Public Radio: As Colorado continues to grapple with the loss of dozens of federal land management and wildfire prevention employees following cuts by the Trump Administration, local scientists are hopeful a new tool will help fill the gaps and shore up funding.

The Colorado Forest Tracker was created by the Colorado State Forest Service and the Colorado Forest Restoration Institute, both of which are a part of Colorado State University in Fort Collins. 

The first-of-its-kind project in the state compiles records from across agencies into a publicly accessible online dashboard, creating a central database and reporting system for forest management activities across the state.
