Thinning the trees & shrubs around your property is a key element in a wild-fire mitigation plan. Allowing trees more individual space allows for healthier forests, and clearing a defensible space around your property help reduce wild-fire threat to your home. These activities result in tree/shrub slash that needs to be removed (not piled on the property.)
Jefferson County are (once more) sponsoring slash collection in Coal Creek Canyon. Slash collection is available to all residents of Coal Creek Canyon, from any of the there counties (i.e. it is not restricted to Jefferson County residents only.) See more information here:
