Are you noticing changes in our local forest? Join Colorado State Forest Entomologist Dr. Dan West as he explores the complex factors driving the Douglas-fir beetle outbreak, from biological interactions to climate change, and dives into how Douglas-fir forest might evolve over the next 20 years. Discover the realities of the current infestation and learn about management options and limitations.

Local Aspen boy and ski pro, Nick Devore and his Colorado native girlfriend, Ashton Tafoya bought a 36-foot sailboat, named it Space Wrangler, and are setting out with the intention to sail around the world. Neither of them saw the ocean until they were about 10 years old but have been called by her vast freedom. They have been working hard all winter to pay off their boat and upgrade her to blue water seaworthiness.
