Tractor, Grader, & Road Maintenance News
With approximately 84% community voter participation and 80% of voters approving the special assessment to purchase a 2025 Kioti Tractor, the WPOA Board completed a purchase agreement, on behalf of Woodrock property owners, with Hitchin' Post in Lake George. Woodrock should take possession of the Kioti RX7320PC with a fully articulating hydraulic backblade at the end of January 2026, after the hydraulic conversion kit arrives and is installed. After the closing of Special Assessment collection at the end of February 2026, the board will purchase the voter-approved backhoe attachment.
The grader is still functional and Tom graded roads on Jan 4th, 2026 to tame the worse washboards before snowfall on Jan 8th.
Many thanks to our snow-plowers for
tackling the second heavy snow of the season. Please support their efforts by slowing into the turns and keeping an eye out for them and for neighbors clearing their driveways near the main road.
We are grateful to the many property owners who have taken the time to send emails and text messages thanking our road and snow crews and expressing support for the WPOA Boards volunteer efforts on behalf of the Woodrock community.
Please stay safe on the roads inside and outside of Woodrock!

Mountain Pine Beetles News
Our ever-vigilant Wildfire and Mitigation Committee has done research about protecting pine trees from the Mountain Pine Beetle. The Colorado State Forest Service has a Handout on "Verbenone" a chemical that tricks the beetle into thinking the tree is already dead, and it goes elsewhere. For trees that are already infested, there is no cure. To stop the spread, cut down dead trees and cover them, and the slash, with plastic and leave it covered over a winter season to freeze. Then it's safe to burn.
Thank you to Martin Guthardt, our Fire Committee Steve & Sylvie King, and the volunteer Fire Dept crewmember for coordinating the use of the Teller County Fire Dept. wood chipper. With our hardworking community volunteers we completed all chipping in under four hours. Great work!!
