Are you trying to reduce the risk of wildfire in your neighborhood? We are committed to helping you reduce wildfire risk working with you and your neighbors to build community and provide resources for wildfire mitigation. As part of this program, we will bring our chipper out to process woody material into mulch for large projects. This is done on a cost share basis, in which residents contribute labor and pay a nominal fee for the service.
Take a look at the Neighborhood Fuels Reduction Program brochure.
Here’s more information on Forest Health and mitigation on your property. The Colorado State Forest Service also has great information.
You’ve made your plan, cut trees on your property, worked with neighbors to mitigate their properties, and you are ready to call CUSP to chip the slash. There are a couple steps to get the work scheduled.
Be familiar with the Neighborhood Fuels Reduction Policies, these are the requirements for your participation in the program.
To request the chipper for your individual property please fill out the sign up form here or print the form and return it to CUSP.
To request the chipper for a neighborhood/HOA (multiple properties) fill out this sign up form here or print it and return to CUSP.
