A pathologist arrived this week to assess the scene at Yeoman Park, but it wasn’t a pilot episode of “CSI: White River National Forest.”
In a television crime procedure drama, the pathologist’s arrival is the pivotal moment that sets the stage for the investigation promised by the show’s title. In Yeoman Park on Wednesday, the arrival of the U.S. Forest Service pathologist marked an important data collection and analysis effort to determine what caused several live trees to fall near campsites at the popular Eagle County locale.
Yeoman Park has been closed to camping since July 14 when the trees, which appeared healthy, fell near campsites. After they toppled, the Forest Service crews found the trees suffered extensive interior rot and they set out to determine both the cause and extent of the issue.

The Notice of Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement analyzing a proposal to allow improved access to the 680-acre Berlaimont Estates’ private inholding near Edwards will publish in the Federal Register on Friday.
Publication of the Notice of Availability is an administrative step ahead of a final decision.
A Final Record of Decision can be signed 30 days after the Notice of Availability is published in the Federal Register.
The FEIS and draft Record of Decision were released to the public in September, initiating a 30-day objection period. The draft decision selected Alternative 2 in the Final Environmental Impact Statement, which keeps access across the forest on existing roads to minimize impacts to National Forest System lands. It meets the legal requirement under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 to provide adequate access to the inholding.
