Mastication
The Fraser Valley Project was a large-scale forest health and wildfire mitigation initiative spanning more than 758 acres across Fraser and Tabernash, CO. Implemented in partnership with CSFS and private landowners, the project focuses on reducing hazardous fuels, improving stand conditions, and strengthening long-term forest resilience.
Restoring Balance
758+ Acres Treated
Increased Ground Health
Wildlife Habitat Reclaimed
Across 758+ acres lodgepole pine regeneration was strategically thinned and masticated to enhance stand health and promote a more resilient forest structure.
The resulting mulch layer protects soil from erosion, retains essential moisture, and recycles nutrients back into the ecosystem naturally.
Opening the forest floor has allowed native grasses to thrive, creating high-quality forage and improved migratory paths for local wildlife.
