Avalanche rescue dog Mona and Erik Larsen at Mona's retirement party in Telluride, Colorado.

This week on the Regional Roundup:

We look at concerns about a proposed move by the U.S. Forest Service from Washington, D.C., to Salt Lake City, and what that could mean for public lands management in the West.

We’ll also visit a conserved organic orchard in western Colorado.

And we hear about new composting efforts in Aspen aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions from food waste.

Plus, a longtime avalanche rescue dog in Telluride retires after years of service.

Hear the RMCR Regional Roundup on Wednesday mornings at 8:30 on KSUT.
