Special to The SUN
Join the Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS), Firewise of Southwest Colorado, Mountain Studies Institute, San Juan Headwaters Forest Health Partnership, the Town of Pagosa Springs and the USFS San Juan National Forest for a tour of the work done and a barbecue on Reservoir Hill Saturday, May 7, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
