After closing out 2022 and our 2nd year of sales, Isoterics Apparel is incredibly excited to announce where our 10% of Profits will be going, the impact it will have, and our newest partnership for forest health and fire mitigation!
Drumroll Please…
This year, we are honored to give our 10% of Profits donation to support the new Conifer Wildland Division, a partnership with Elk Creek, Inter-Canyon, and North Fork Fire Protection Districts in Jefferson and Park County, Colorado.
“Thank You!” to our amazing community of followers who purchased our products and supported our cause in 2022. We are stoked to say that this year’s donation was our largest to-date. What’s even better is that the donation funds will be matched dollar for dollar by the Action, Implementation, and Mitigation Program run by Coalitions and Collaboratives Inc. This program supports safe and healthy ecosystems through place-based groups practicing wildfire mitigation across North America.
Sponsored Projects
The financial donation will support capacity building and implementation of several important fire mitigation initiatives in this high risk mountain community in 2023.
Fuel Break Implementation
Three science-based shaded fuel breaks will be implemented or continued from previous years to protect communities and provide action points to help with suppression efforts in the event of a fire.
Community Chipping Program
The Community Chipping program helps support homeowners across the 400 square mile area implement defensible space and remove the associated biomass.
Education to Action
The Colorado Certified Burner program is being offered to the area’s Community Ambassador program and surrounding partners to help support more efficient biomass removal across the landscape.
These projects all have the primary goals of improving forest health, reducing the extreme wildfire risk to communities, associated infrastructure, and the surrounding Upper South Platte Watershed which sustains miles of trout fishing and drinking water for millions of people on the front range of Colorado.
Continued Support
In addition to our 10% of Profits donation, we are excited to provide continued support to the Elk Creek Fire Protection District throughout 2023 with the sale of a limited edition run of shirts, hats and accessories. Keep an eye out for these items to hit our website, and come find us at summer events in 2023 for a chance to grab some of this sweet gear.
Designer Shout Out!
Lastly, we also wanted to give a big thank you and shout out to our friends at MTN Creative for their collaboration and design work on the Elk Creek product line. Beyond being awesome people and good friends, they always deliver next-level designs that bring our concepts to life!
That’s the good news for now folks, we can’t wait for what 2023 has in store for Istoerics Apparel!
