The Colorado Division of Forestry (DOF) was a result of the Colorado General Assembly's House Bill number 00-1460 of 2000. This Division monitors the health of all forests in Colorado, including national and private forests. DOF focuses on forest health, both grow and its maintenance; instead of the revenue generated from forest activities.

By state statute, DOF is headed by the State Forester, under the auspices from the Forestry Advisory Board, and staffed by the Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS), a program of Colorado State University.

Mission

This report, required by act, provided an overview of Colorado’s forested landscape, summarized existing areas and issues of concerns. It also created the beginning of a public dialogue regarding the future of the state’s forest resources.
