The money comes from a $90,000 federal grant, as well as some kick-ins by the Highlands Park Housing Association. The project will cost about $20,000 to remove trees, which will slowly and safely be burned, in the 5 acres. Other fire mitigation projects will continue near the Upper Blue Valley. In addition, lawmakers are looking at setting aside $5.5 million to clear more trees, recycle beetle kill and create wildfire plans throughout Colorado. The U.S. Forest Service also hopes to dole out $26 million throughout the Rocky Mountains to deal with the problem. Local authorities say that approximately 8,600 acres need to be thinned. The cost is averages $1,250 an acre, but reduced fuel costs are a plus for the cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Red, White &amp; Blue wild-land workers will start taking out brush and trees in Highlands Park, above Discovery Hill in Breckenridge.
