Grant from U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO) Funds Old-Growth Logging
A $358,000 grant from the office of U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO) has funded the past and ongoing logging of treasured Jefferson County Open Space parks, Elk Meadow and Alderfer/Three Sisters, including mature and old-growth trees up to 211 years old (see photo from Denver Post).
A second $600,000 grant would finance the construction of a road, potentially through some of the most pristine old growth forest in Boulder County, Colorado.
