Two years later (After the West Fork Fire), the social, economic and environmental impacts of that fire are still a concern to stakeholders who are working to improve watershed, forest and community health in the region. This prompted the San Juan Headwaters Forest Health Partnership (SJHFHP) to initiate a tour of the burn area for the public to see and learn about the fire, what the situation is today and what is planned for the future.
