Our favorite fuel mitigation team is back! Goat Bros, Hoof-Action Grazing has returned to provide cool weather grazing services in Superior as part of the Town's wildfire mitigation efforts to reduce fuel loads on open space properties.

You can catch the 300-goat herd grazing in Castle Peak Open Space, about 40 acres just east of Eldorado PK-8. Once grazing is complete in the Castle Peak area, the goats plan to move to Autrey Park (1830 Honey Creek Drive) for the remainder of the winter.

Please be aware that the owners of Goat Bros will live on-site in their camper at the South Pool parking lot and then move to the Autrey Park parking lot.

Dry air, low precipitation, little soil moisture, and fluctuating temperatures are characteristics of fall and winter in many areas of Colorado.

Often, there is little or no snow cover to provide soil moisture from October through March. Trees, shrubs, perennials and lawns under these conditions may be damaged if they do not receive supplemental water.

Guidelines for watering in the winter include:

• Water only when air temperatures are above 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Apply water at midday so it will have time to soak in before freezing at night.
• Monitor weather conditions and water during extended dry periods without snow cover, one to two times per month.

Find more information in this fact sheet from Colorado State University.

The Town has traditionally offered a Holiday Lighting display at various locations throughout the Town.

This coming holiday season, the Town will reduce display locations to focus on Town facilities and properties, and commercial centers. This will eliminate roughly eight locations in the Rock Creek neighborhood, Sagamore neighborhood, and Original Town.

We have good news, though!

The Rock Creek Homeowners Association (HOA) is going to fund lighting displays in several locations this year, including at Rock Creek Parkway and McCaslin Boulevard, Coalton Road and Indiana Street, and Rock Creek Parkway and Indiana Street. Installation will begin in early November with the lights turned on right before Thanksgiving.
