Did you know?

The Colorado Forest Products (CFP) program helps raise consumer awareness by branding wood products from forest restoration and fuels reduction efforts in Colorado.

The CFP logo assures you at least 50 percent of the wood in that product is coming from Colorado's forests, which helps reduce restoration costs.
