WIEDER AND NATHAN W. BOWER* Environmental Science Program, Colorado College, 14 East Cache La Poudre, Colorado Springs, CO 80903 *Correspondent: [email protected] ABSTRACT A ®re history for the Aiken Canyon Nature Conservancy preserve in Colorado is presented. Eighteen cross-sections cut from ponderosa pine recorded 20 ®re events for the period spanning 1602 to 1999. An unusually small median ®re interval (MFI) of 7.5 years was obtained for the period 1753 to 1935. A signi®cant association was found between El Nino weather patterns and the ®res at Aiken Canyon. A shorter MFI was observed in the grasslands, which are at lower elevations. Fires from railroads or cattle ranching might have caused the shorter MFI in the grass- lands between 1872 and 1935. After 1935, ®re suppression became common. RESUMEN Se presenta la historia de fuegos en la reserva de la Aiken Canyon Nature Conser- vancy en Colorado. Dieciocho secciones cortadas de Pinus ponderosa registraron 20 acontecimien- tos de fuego en el perõÂodo de 1602 a 1999. Un medio excepcionalmente pequenÄo del intervalo de fuego (MIF) de 7.5 anÄos se obtuvo por el perõÂodo de 1753 a 1935. Se encontro una asociacioÂn signi®cativa entre patrones de tiempo de El NinÄo y fuegos en el Aiken Canyon. Un MIF maÂs corto se observo en los prados que estaÂn en elevaciones maÂs bajas. Fuegos de los ferrocarriles o de ranchos de ganado pudieron haber causado el MIF corto en los prados entre 1872 y 1935.

    Wild Connections Conservation Plan for the Pike & San Isabel National Forests Chapter 5 – Complexes: Area-Specific Management Recommendations This section contains our detailed, area-specific proposal utilizing the theme based approach to land management. As an organizational tool, this proposal divides the Pike-San Isabel National Forest into eleven separate Complexes, based on geo-physical characteristics of the land such as mountain ranges, parklands, or canyon systems. Each complex narrative provides details and justifications for our management recommendations for specific areas. In order to emphasize the larger landscape and connectivity of these lands with the ecoregion, commentary on relationships to adjacent non-Forest lands are also included. Evaluations of ecological value across public and private lands are used throughout this chapter. The Colorado Natural Heritage Programs rates the biodiversity of Potential Conservation Areas (PCAs) as General Biodiversity, Moderate, High, Very High, and Outranking Significance. The Nature Conservancy assesses the conservation value of its Conservation Blueprint areas as Low, Moderately Low, Moderate, Moderately High and High. The Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project's Wildlands Network Vision recommends land use designations of Core Wilderness, Core Agency, Low and Moderate Compatible Use, and Wildlife Linkages. Detailed explanations are available from the respective organizations. Complexes – Summary List by Watershed Table 5.1: Summary of WCCP Complexes Watershed Complex Ranger District

Collinge Warren H. Dean Bruce Dines DEAR FRIENDS, Elaine Feeney Ken Gart What a year! I think it’s safe to say that this was not the 2020 anyone expected. A year defi ned by a pandemic has shown how Shannon Gi ord much we rely on science, nature and the outdoors. Urban parks, backyards, local trails, and neighborhood walks provided refuge Terry Hu ngton and an escape during lockdown. Meanwhile, record wildfi res, drought and shocking new science on the world’s biodiversity loss Richard Jorgensen further highlighted the urgency for us to act on climate and conserve nature. Kristin McKissick Art Reimers Despite these diffi cult times, there are still plenty of reasons to feel hopeful. I fi nd hope in our work to help nature and people Greeley Sachs adapt to change, and in the evolving “new normal” in the ways we live, travel, and interact. I fi nd hope in the increasing awareness Cynthia Scott of climate change and the connections between the environment and racial injustice, and the new pressure and enthusiasm we Susan Sturm 2 are seeing—especially from young people—to address these injustices. And I always fi nd hope in watching my daughter explore Suzanne White and learn through all these changes, and seeing her relentless optimism and adaptability carry her through just about anything.
