Description
The National Park Service intends to award a single-source justified cooperative agreement for the Fuels Treatment Evaluation at Rocky Mountain National Park. The project aims to evaluate current fuels treatments and provide valuable information for better fuels management. The recipient will conduct field measurements, data analysis, and computer simulations to determine the effectiveness of fuels treatments. The project will also involve collaboration with park staff, the Colorado Forest Restoration Institute, and other partners. The goal is to identify areas with a high probability of containing wildfires and areas where subsequent fuels treatments may be necessary.
Key aspects of the project include:
• Evaluating current fuels treatments at Rocky Mountain National Park
• Conducting field measurements and data analysis
• Running computer simulations to determine treatment effectiveness
• Collaborating with park staff and other partners
• Providing results in reports and presentations to park staff
• Disseminating information through webinars and fact sheets
