FLAGSTAFF – A May 9 Cronkite News story on forest health had incorrect information in two captions about how trees on A-1 Mountain in the Coconino Forest in Flagstaff are marked for removal during the thinning process. Trees marked with blue or no color are designated for removal while orange markings indicate the tree should be left alone.
