I've spent a lot of time in the Snaking Fire burn, and they've left all of it alone. Probably the same with Hayman. You should see all the green and small aspens coming up in those areas. The deer are loving it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321070.post-29993884287804456512008-12-26T12:23:00.000-07:002008-12-26T12:23:00.000-07:00Aside from some private cutting of easy-to-reach s...Aside from some private cutting of easy-to-reach standing dead trees for firewood, I have not seen much happening at this end of the burn, which totals more than 11,000 acres.<BR/><BR/>There may have been some aerial grass seeding, I forget.

And, I...Happy Holiday, Chas...<BR/><BR/>Lovely photos there! And, I have a question for you. What does Colorado DO with a burn area? Do you know if they will leave well-enough alone so that birds can enjoy it? Please tell me they won't go and try to cut down every single snag!<BR/><BR/>BeverlyBeverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334121900896195207noreply@blogger.com
