GRAND COUNTY — A well-known Grand County forester was killed when a tree fell on him on Shadow Mountain.
Kevin Pellini, 43, of Granby was found by motorists outside his vehicle under a lodgepole pine about 4 p.m. Friday, according to the Grand County coroner’s office. Officials are not sure when he died.
Pellini, the owner of Goldrun Forestry in Granby, was not cutting trees at the time, said Coroner Brenda Bock.
The large tree along Jericho Road came up by its roots when it toppled, Bock said. Besides his work building trails in Grand County, Pellini had cut thousands of pine-beetle-infested trees in the region.
