Juniper expansion has shown a negative impact on forage production, wildlife habitat, fire cycles, and overall watershed functions. Treatment options are available to reverse this trend. Forest health projects are NOT just limited to juniper removal. Treatment can include pine and aspen stand enhancement as well.

The health of our streams is a direct reflection of the health of our land. The Lake County Umbrella Watershed Council is committed to helping landowners improve watershed function and stream channel health. Streams connect the mountains to the valleys, the headwaters to the lakes, and the people to the land.
