Guinn and Trimarco also dis- cussed the two Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Programs (CFLRPs) — both large-scale, fed- erally funded forest restoration programs — in the region, includ- ing the Southwest Colorado CFLRP and the Rio Chama CFLRP, both created in 2022. Trimarco noted that the Rio Chama CFLRP would involve $30 million in federal funding and that the 2-3-2 Partnership would be involved in organizing and coordinating this project.
