USDA Forest ServiceNational forests are America’s great outdoors. They encompass 193 million acres of land, which is an area equivalent to the size of Texas. National forests provide opportunities for recreation in open spaces and natural environments. With more and more people living in urban areas, national forests are becoming more important and valuable to Americans. People enjoy a wide variety of

activities on national forests, including backpacking in remote wilderness areas, mastering an all-terrain vehicle over a challenging trail, enjoying the views along a scenic byway, or fishing in a great trout stream, to mention just a few.

White ConstructionAs an innovative, fast-growing, commercial, general construction company, White Construction Group has the expertise to manage, build, and deliver projects per our clients’ standards and expectations. We specialize in commercial construction, design-build, historic preservation and adaptive re-use projects in the Rocky Mountain Region. White Construction Group has been

performing work in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico for over 29 years. White Construction Group has completed a wide variety of historic renovation projects across Colorado including projects in the City and County of Denver, Arapahoe County, Trinidad, Baca County, Manzanola, Castle Rock, Black Hawk, Kiowa, Elizabeth, Sedalia, Brighton, Fort Morgan, Ouray, Sterling, and Edgewater, just to name a few. Unlike many construction companies that take historic work as it comes, we actively seek it out. We relish each new preservation project because of the inherent challenges posed when the years of use, neglect or just hard Colorado weather, are peeled away, and the bones of great architecture are revealed. We love the puzzles presented by working in and with imperfect structures and we enjoy the research and study it takes to master forgotten crafts.
