Logging in Jefferson County for fire mitigation stokes anger among residents

Logging opponent describes “complete shock and horror” at the sight of felled trees

Environmental activist Josh Schlossberg stands in Elk Meadow Park with recently harvested trees which were felled as part of a fire management plan on the Jefferson County Open Space near Evergreen on Feb. 28, 2023. Schlossberg is concerned that Jefferson County’s mitigation plan in the open space parks is cutting old growth trees — an important part of the ecosystem — as part of its fire mitigation plan.
