We’re part of your community, Durango, and you’re part of ours

University of Colorado Boulder researchers and Fort Lewis College scientists are studying everything from social and public policy adaptations to wildfire, to the environmental changes that fuel it – including in the San Juan Mountains – to the unique safety and communication challenges faced by wildland firefighters. We’re proud to say that Fort Lewis College biology and environmental sciences professor Heidi Steltzer, who is part of this important research ecosystem, earned her doctorate from CU Boulder.
