  • RMFI Annual Report 2016
    ROCKY MOUNTAIN FIELD INSTITUTE 2016 Annual Report The Nonprofit Steward of Public Lands in Southern Colorado Kit Carson Peak, Justin Peterson LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR By all accounts, 2016 was an historic year for RMFI. In meeting new and developing stewardship needs in our backyard, we estimate to have grown by nearly 120% with the addition of 8 new projects and the doubling of our seasonal field staff. To support this growth, we acquired additional office space, a project vehicle, tools and equipment, and looked hard at ways to increase our organizational efficiencies, which we were able to accomplish in several areas. With your support, we launched, continued, or completed some of our most exciting projects to date. Highlights include constructing new trails in Ute Valley Park and the Bear Creek Watershed; continuing our multi-year effort to reconstruct the summit trail to Kit Carson Peak and Challenger Point in the Sangre de Cristos; beginning new stewardship projects at properties acquired through the City of Colorado Springs’ Trails, Open Space, and Parks (TOPS) program; beginning a new willow propagation and planting program to restore critical riparian areas in the Waldo Canyon burn scar; completing much-needed trail improvements in North Cheyenne Cañon, Palmer Park, Garden of the Gods Park, Barr Trail, and Red Rock Canyon Open Space; completing our 15th annual Earth Corps field studies program and 5th annual Pikes Peak Regional Crew Leader Training, and so much more. We also worked hard to achieve Guidestar’s Platinum level of transparency and effectiveness, the highest level possible, and also continued implementation of our 5-year strategic plan, which was created in 2015.

  • Dissertation Crises Unwasted
    DISSERTATION CRISES UNWASTED: HOW POLICY ENTREPRENEURS LINKED FOREST BIOMASS TO ENERGY SECURITY IN COLORADO, 1998-2013 Submitted by Mike Eckhoff Department of Forest and Rangeland Stewardship In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2014 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Kurt Mackes Co-Advisor: Rick Knight Charles Davis Mark Fiege Marcia Patton-Mallory Douglas Rideout Copyright by Mike Eckhoff 2014 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT CRISES UNWASTED: HOW POLICY ENTREPRENEURS LINKED FOREST BIOMASS TO ENERGY SECURITY IN COLORADO, 1998-2013 Colorado’s forests are facing threats from wildfires, insect and disease epidemics and human encroachment. At the same time, Coloradans are facing energy security problems from fossil fuel price volatility, unintended consequences from continued fossil fuel dependence, problematic alternative, non-renewable fuel promotions and a struggling renewable energy industry. Subsequently, natural resources managers in Colorado are facing two imposing challenges simultaneously: 1) the need to restore forest health and 2) to manage energy resources sustainably, equitably and with public safety in mind. Policy entrepreneurs invested in forest energy found ways to link forest health emergencies to energy security crises. This dissertation is a study that explores how that link was forged and what happened in Colorado as result, looking at the actions taken by the four major federal land management agencies (U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service and the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service). This study also traced briefly how the State of Colorado responded to these crises, too. First, this study qualitatively surveyed literature in the forest history and policy arenas and energy history and policy arenas to chart how prior events led to current conditions.

PHOTO BY CHRIS VANKAT PHOTO BY JUSTIN PETERSON PHOTO BY RMFI Dear RMFI Friends and Supporters, Each passing year provides a great opportunity to pause and reflect on the important things around us, where we’ve been, and where we’re going. This year is no different. By all accounts, 2015 was a very successful year. We accomplished a tremendous amount of work on the ground, enhanced relationships with our many project partners, actively engaged community groups, volunteers, and youth conservation crews in meaningful stewardship projects, participated in workshops and conferences to grow our professional expertise, expanded our donor base, increased our reach and capacity within the community, and even took home some awards along the way. As an organization, we celebrated our 33rd year anniversary, making us one of the longest standing outdoor stewardship groups in the state. As a community, we also faced some challenges. In May 2015, portions of Colorado Springs received upwards of 12 inches of rainfall, surpassing a previous record held since 1894.

Bit by bit, moments of exercise are being woven into my life with the side benefit of being with people that I love and enjoy.

  • RMFI Annual Report 2018
    2018 Annual Report Rocky Mountain Field Institute Letter from the Director Dear RMFI Supporters, With each passing year, we find ourselves more excited for the next - excited to tackle new projects, continue legacy projects, engage with new partners, enhance existing partnerships, create greater impact, and make the next year better than the last. With that said, 2018 was quite a year! From the desert plains of eastern Utah to the high alpine peaks of the Sangre de Cristos, RMFI had a hand in stewarding public landscapes at over two dozen project sites with the help of more than 2,300 volunteers and countless partners - who together make the work we do possible. “Thank you” just doesn’t seem sufficient to express our immense gratitude to each of you who believe in our mission, invest in our mission, and cheer us on every step of the way. We are truly grateful to have the opportunity to do what we do and feel more than ever that our work is vital to ensuring our public lands remain accessible, sustainable, and resilient for generations to come. Some highlights of the year include helping to finish the new Dixon Trail in Cheyenne Mountain State Park (final touches to come in 2019), wrapping up our nearly two-decades of work on Pikes Peak (see pages 12-13 for more info), securing a grant to help facilitate a public planning process for Waldo Canyon, hosting the 10th annual RMFI Fall ShinDIG, being recognized as the Outstanding Community Partner of the Year by Colorado College, among Photo courtesy of Stephen Toledo.
