The Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley secured $865,009 in national grant funding for a project aimed at mitigating wildfires and increasing home resilience in Glenwood Springs. “We’re so grateful to have these resources to put to real, on the ground fuels reduction work,” Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley Executive Director Angie Davlyn said. The grant prioritizes low-income communities at high risk of wildfire that have also experienced a disaster within the last decade that increased wildfire vulnerability. Investing in wildfire mitigation and preparedness is critical to safeguarding our communities, public lands, and way of life for future generations.”The Wildfire Collaborative will use the funds to implement the Glenwood Springs Wildfire Mitigation and Home Resilience Project. On-the-ground efforts will commence after the Wildfire Collaborative receives the grant funding, though an exact disbursement date has not yet been confirmed, according to Davlyn.
