For the next 20 years, the Forest Service and the Thunder Basin Grazing Association will roll up their sleeves to restore prairies, rebuild forage, battle invasive weeds, expand wildlife‑friendly fencing, and apply targeted grazing across one of America’s most iconic grasslands.

This isn’t just collaboration, it’s a full‑scale commitment to reshape the future of the grassland. https://www.fs.usda.gov/about-agency/newsroom/releases/us-forest-service-and-thunder-basin-grazing-association-sign

This is good news. Reminder that the Forest Area Closure for the Fishhook Fire is still in place, as referenced by Routt County Colorado news release https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14iNYjmKdH3/

Emergency officials have lifted the pre-evacuation alerts that were in place for the Fishhook Fire. As a reminder, the two zones affected (SS-356 and SS-376) are located on National Forest land and do not have any associated residences. Access to the area remains limited in accordance with the forest closure order issued for the Fishhook Fire. Highway 40 remains open, though emergency vehicle traffic should be expected as firefighters continue suppression and containment efforts.
