Tax Deduction for Fire Mitigation
Save your receipts. The State of Colorado (HB08-1110) allows landowners to deduct the costs of fire mitigation measures on private land. "Wildlife mitigation measures" are defined in the act as follows: "The creation of a defensible space around structures; the establishment of fuel breaks; the thinning of woody vegetation for the primary purpose of reducing risk to structures from wildland fire; or the secondary treatment of woody fuels by lopping and scattering, piling, chipping, removing from the site, or prescribed burning; so long as such activities meet or exceed any Colorado State Forest Service standards or any other applicable state rules." Some restrictions and limitations apply. Consult with your tax preparer to determine if you qualify.

Annual Workday - June 6, 2009
The 2009 Annual Workday of the Association will be held on Saturday, June 6. This will be an opportunity for ENPHA members to volunteer their services towards maintaining part of the Eagles Nest trail system, sprucing up the Community Center, and planting pansies at the south Golden Eagle/Bald Eagle entrances. We will begin at 8:30 A.M. and conclude Workday activities by noon. Pick your location: either go to the Pavilion or to the south Golden Eagle/Bald Eagle entrance. The Trail repair crew will meet at the Community Center. Lunch will be provided at the Taylor Pavilion. Brats, burgers and beverages will be served.

Healthy Forest Work Days
The Association has stewardship over a good deal of property in the Eagles Nest community. This property is designated open space and cannot be developed; it is there for the enjoyment of our members. This summer Board members Jim Ernst and Al Sanborn will organize two Healthy Forest workdays to maintain these open space parcels. Many thanks to those who volunteered for the Healthy Forest Work Day last year. The work was hard and rewarding and the Team’s expectations were met and then some. While no one would prefer to cut down a tree, especially a small one, sometimes that’s the best thing to do if we want a healthy forest. The work involved thinning and chipping hundreds of small trees. The hope being that those trees left behind will flourish and be strong enough to resist the mountain pine beetle. The project also reduced the threat of a wildfire to the homes in the area. Thanks to George Resseguie for obtaining some awesome tools. Environmental Forestry did a great job with the chipping. Thanks to the following volunteers: Warren Buettner, Bill Reed, Joan Davids, Jean Reitan, John Green, Fred Reitan, Diane Kotowski, Jan Shipman, Bob Kotowski, Len Shipman, Tom Meads, Rich Wharff, and Brian Moriarty.
