About the Front Range Fuels Treatment Partnership
The Front Range Fuels Treatment Partnership (FRFTP) was initiated following the record fire season of 2002. It is comprised of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, Pike and San Isabel National Forests, Colorado State Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station and Rocky Mountain National Park. FRFTP was formed to reduce wildland fire risks through sustained fuels treatment along the Colorado Front Range.
