The U.S. Forest Service has partnered with Trout Unlimited (TU) to restore aquatic systems lost in the two largest wildfires in state history — the Cameron Peak and East Troublesome fires.
The 2020 Cameron Peak Fire in Larimer and Jackson counties left much destruction in its wake once it was finally extinguished in early December 2020 after igniting on Aug. 13, 2020. In total, the fire had burned more than 208,000 acres, destroying more than 450 structures along the way. To date, it remains Colorado's largest wildfire in recorded history.
Both fires, along with the Williams Fork Fire, which burned roughly 14,000 acres, affected hundreds of thousands of watersheds across the Arapahoe and Roosevelt National Forests, according to TU.
“The 2020 wildfires continue to cause new damage to our water resources, threaten public safety, and impact access to recreation,” said Monte Williams, Forest Supervisor, Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland in a statement. “We are looking to design projects that will help stabilize these slopes, enhance streams, recover fisheries, and restore recreation opportunities.
