Other Comments:

Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department (BCPOS), Natural Resources Division, is seeking proposals for woody biomass processing services. In 2008, the Meeker Park /Allenspark Sort Yard opened to the public to help battle against the bark beetle epidemic. In 2010, a second sort yard, Nederland Area location, has ensured that county funds are used more effectively to address bark beetles and fire mitigation, in which dedicated resources are shared between the two (2) sites. The Community Forestry Sort Yards (CFSY) offer landowners a place, free-of-charge, to dispose of beetle-killed trees, which reduces the spread of beetle infestation and slows the tree mortality rate. In addition, landowners can dispose of wood that was cut to improve defensible space around their homes or to carry out forest health projects. Sort yards not only offer a place to dispose of wood that is often not accepted through traditional sawmill operations, but they contribute to local wood markets for sustainable products such as polls, rails, posts, logs, firewood, mulch, and even biomass energy.

Project Name:

Biomass Forestry Processing

Background:

Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department (BCPOS), Natural Resources Division, is

seeking proposals for woody biomass processing services. In 2008, the Meeker Park /Allenspark

Sort Yard opened to the public to help battle against the bark beetle epidemic. In 2010, a second

sort yard, Nederland Area location, has ensured that county funds are used more effectively to

address bark beetles and fire mitigation, in which dedicated resources are shared between the

two (2) sites. The Community Forestry Sort Yards (CFSY) offer landowners a place, free-of-charge,

to dispose of beetle-killed trees, which reduces the spread of beetle infestation and slows the

tree mortality rate. In addition, landowners can dispose of wood that was cut to improve

defensible space around their homes or to carry out forest health projects. Sort yards not only

offer a place to dispose of wood that is often not accepted through traditional sawmill operations,

but they contribute to local wood markets for sustainable products such as polls, rails, posts, logs,

firewood, mulch, and even biomass energy.
