Boulder County's ProgramWildfire Mitigation
Boulder County has taken a significant leap forward in its commitment to community safety and environmental stewardship with its recent launch of the Wildfire Partners Community Chipping Program. The program supports all county residents with managing the high-risk vegetation on their properties, fostering a safer, cleaner, and more fire-resilient environment for all through proactive measures to reduce wildfire risk.
The county chipping program is free to Boulder County residents, allowing adequate disposal of slash — green branches, and brush — in a safe and sustainable manner. The program is actively improving defensible space around properties and reducing the potential for fire to spread.
Key Points - To be eligible, one person or household assumes the role of “Chipping Event Host” for at least five properties.
- Program FAQs
- The Boulder County Chipping Program is a free service provided by the Wildfire Mitigation Sales Tax, approved by voters in Nov. 2022.
Learn More and Apply
A minimum of five participating neighbors is required to host a community chipping event. At each community event, a County approved chipping contractor will provide the chipping services and haul the chips to a partnering donation site. Learn more about the chipping program, eligibility criteria, application and scheduling process.
For more information, contact Zack Bertges, Wildfire Partners Chipping Coordinator, at 303-678-6168 or zbertges@bouldercounty.gov
