If you do spay any sections along our streets right of way let me know so I can mark it down on my map this way I can keep track of what sections have been done.

• What is being done to protect the Greater Pagosa community from catastrophic  wildfires. 
• Managing  the surrounding forest  to be  more resilience  to wildfires 
• History of Wildfires in the Greater Pagosa area.
• What can you do to lower the risk of fires to your home and property
