Welcome

If
you
see
smoke
coming
from
open
space
land
in
the
upcoming
weeks,
chances
are
it's
supposed
to
be
there.
This
is
the
time
of
year,
boulders,
open
space
and
mountain
parks.
Department
schedules
prescribed
burns
to
improve
the
health
of
local
ecosystems
and
reduce
fire
danger.
Signs
are
posted
residents.
B
A
Will
monitor
the
burn
at
all
times,
but
even
after
the
burn
has
been
extinguished,
residual
smoke
could
linger
around
the
open
space.
This
prescribed
burn
will
continue.
The
forest
ecosystem
and
fire
mitigation
work,

An
ecosystem
that
needs
balance
and
management,
the
prescribed
burn,
will
help
reduce
dead
grass
and
forest
litter
that
can
inhibit
native
plant
growth,
improving
the
forest
habitat
for
native
wildlife
species.
The
prescribed
burn
will
also
provide
a
good
training
opportunity
for
firefighters
and
local
crews.

the
city
of
Boulder
uses
prescribed
fires
to
help

ecosystems,

A
E
Year
has
to
be
different
from
the
you
know
from
from
the
previous
year,
so
this
year
we
did
expected.
We
did
expect
a
lot
of
people
and
I
think
the
good
thing
was
that
that
there
were
people,
there
were
loads
of
people
and
there
were
new
faces.
That
was
a
great
thing.
There
were
people
from
from
Boulder
then
were
across
the
country
and
from
some
people
from
you
know,
from
outside
the
US
as
well.

There
were

Take
a
look
at
these
guys,
thanks
to
the
efforts
of
the
boulder
community
somewhere
between
80
and
120.
Prairie
dogs
have
new
digs
to
call
home.
These
prairie
dogs
have
been
living
on
the
4000
block
of
North
Broadway,
which
is
slated
for
redevelopment
now
between
October,
first
and
November.
First,
these
critters
will
move
to
an
open
space
area.
A
East
of
Cherryvale
road
and
north
of
Marshall
drive
the
owner
of
the
property,
hired
a
private
contractor
to
do
the
work,
but
the
city's
urban
wildlife
coordinator
is
closely
overseen
their
successful
relocation.
This
area
will
be
closed
to
the
public,
while
the
prairie
dogs
adjust
to
their
new
homes
for
more
information
about
what
the
city
is
doing
to
prepare
for
their
arrival

here
in
Boulder.
We
want
to
help
the
environment.
How
we
use
energy
and
where
it
comes
from,
is
a
big
part
of
that.
A
C
A
Plan
will
require
about
53
million
dollars
in
construction,
but
the
end
result
will
be
an
independent
system
that
maximizes
new
technology
and
strengthens
the
system
we
rely
on
every
day.
The
process
of
creating
a
local
utility
is
a
complex
one
and
it's
taken
years
of
applications
and
analysis
to
get
to
this
point.
Our
engineering
was
fantastic,
heather
bailey,
the
executive
director
of
energy
strategy
and
electric
utility
development
for
the
city
of
Boulder
says
separation
from
excel
could
be
a
way
to
reach
the
community's
energy
goals
both
now
and
in
the
future.
C
A
Says
this
plan
gradually
increases
this
kind
of
supply,
but
also
provides
reliable
and
affordable
service
for
all
customers.
Boulder
energy
future
will
host
an
open
house
on
Monday
October
10th
from
6
30
to
8
30
p.m.
at
the
Jewish
Community
Center.
The
public
is
invited
to
attend
to
learn
more
about
the
city
separation
plan
and
ask
questions
about
this
stage
in
the
process.
