Alderfer / Three Sisters Park

Recently Completed Forest Management Project
In 2021, Jeffco Open Space conducted wildfire mitigation and forest restoration in Alderfer/Three Sisters Park. This work removed woody vegetation to a create a fuel break, strengthen emergency access, and improve forest health. This work built on the JCOS forest management along Buffalo Park Road in 2020 and is part of our  Conservation Greenpriont Goal 6 to perform over 1000 acres of forest management by the end of 2025.

In the summer and fall of 2019, Natural Resources staff conducted baseline forest inventories to identify treatment areas and to develop specific management objectives. Staff began removing trees in Spring 2021, and the project was completed in late Winter 2021 Please click the link below for more information.
