The Red Feather Plan Advisory Committee still has two current vacancies that need to be filled. Two long term members expect to “retire” in December, which creates more opportunities. Serving on this committee is not very time consuming and can be a significant contribution to our beautiful place. RFL property owners and those that have an association with Red Feather can learn more about this committee at: RFL PAC Info. Though this committee cannot control what changes occur in Red Feather, it does make recommendations to the County Commissioners based on input obtained from the general community. The primary objective of the committee is to maintain the character and quality of Historic Red Feather. The committee meets monthly on the second Thursday at 1:30 PM in the Firehouse conference room. The current focus is on water quality in Red Feather.

RFL Plan Advisory Committee Opportunities
Wednesday, September 14th, 2011Need Help with Dead Trees & Slash?
Wednesday, September 14th, 2011Unfortunately, many property owners in Red Feather have lost trees to beetle kill or other forces. The dead trees are no longer a beetle threat, however trees currently infested with beetles should be removed ASAP, for sure before June of 2012. You say: “Sure, but what can I do with the tree trunks and especially the slash?” There is now a low cost answer. A private entity called “Slash Solutions” has established a burn center on Creedmore Rd. just past the paved portion on the way to Beaver Meadows & Crystal Lakes. You can bring your material to that location on Th/F/Sat/Sun or Mon. between the hours of 10 AM till 6 PM. They have a recently purchased a Curtain Burner that burns green or dead tree material with virtually no smoke or odor. There is a nominal charge of $5/cubic yard. That is far less than hauling material down the hill.
Coming Soon – We Hope
The RFL Fire Dept. is working to establish a program that will allow property owners to simply bring their dead or infested tree material to the road on the edge of their property and it will be picked up and taken to the Curtain Burner Site for a small charge or donation. Stay tuned to this site to learn if/when this plan becomes available.

You may recognize some of these locations, especially if you have explored our beautiful Red Feather Lakes. You certainly can if you visit Jack’s web site.
Keep your eye on this page as the RFLPOA will feature other local artists in the future. If you are a local area artist and desire to have your work featured please contact us.
