  • 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.
