The Nederland CWPP provides a comprehensive assessment of the wildfire hazards and risks in the Nederland Fire Protection District and upper Magnolia Road, (which is covered by Timberline Fire Protection District). This plan provides critical information that informs wildfire mitigation projects undertaken by the Town of Nederland, Boulder County, the USDA Forest Service and private landowners in the area.
