​Markit! Forestry Management ("Markit! Forestry") has completed a highly complex environmental forestry project on approximately 380 acres in the Chatfield State Park in Douglas and Jefferson counties in Colorado. The park encompasses the Chatfield Reservoir, which has a surface area of 1423 acres, and is fed by the South Platte River, Plum Creek and other smaller creeks. 

​To help control flooding, the Chatfield Reservoir was built in 1975 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the confluence of the South Platte River and Plum Creek. The reservoir has the ability to store more than 350,000 acre-feet of water. The primary purpose of the reservoir is flood control, but it also provides storage space for conservation water, which is used for municipal, industrial, agricultural and recreational uses, as well as maintaining fisheries and wildlife habitat, and providing drinking water to the Denver metropolitan area. 

Markit! Forestry Management LLC ("Markit! Forestry") of Colorado Springs has acquired the forestry company The Tree Musketeers, of Black Hawk, Colorado. The transaction was completed on April 3. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Since its founding, The Tree Musketeers has executed over 500 forestry projects in over 10 Colorado counties, from Larimer County in northern Colorado, to Park County to the south, to Eagle County to the west, to Adams County to the east.
