Lost Forests Recovery in California

These trees actually need fire to reproduce. Their cones need heat to open and release seeds, and fire clears the ground layer so those seeds can reach bare soil. After the severe wildfires of recent years killed a real share of large sequoias, planting seedlings by hand in burned

Keeping California’s National Forests safe from wildfires isn’t only the job of forest crews.
Visitors help protect these landscapes every time they respect closures, manage campfires properly, and leave no trace behind.

In California, the objective for the year ahead is prevention.
Reducing wildfire risk means active forest management, fuel reduction, and continuous monitoring — work our local teams carry out year-round to keep forests healthier and more resilient.

For some families caring for trees is a way of life. It’s a commitment to supporting the ecosystem and preserving what’s beautiful for future generations. To them, it’s just the right thing to do.

Our reforestation efforts are for everyone! From young children to the elderly, all are invited to play a part in conserving our national forests.

Beyond restoring our forests, we're committed to promoting their proper use and maintenance by the public.

Conservation preserves biodiversity, sustains natural resources, and ensures a healthy planet for future generations.

Controlled forest fires play a vital role in ecological balance by clearing underbrush, aiding plant growth, and reducing wildfire risks, thus rejuvenating and maintaining diverse forest ecosystems.

Californian forests suffer from wildfires constantly, this is why we consistently make the effort to monitor and support to make our forests more resilient.

The ardous work we do daily always pays off, while we see our forests grow and conserve their natural benefits.

One vital step is to grow the tree seedlings in our nurseries, making sure they are healthy enough to withstand the environment where they are going to be planted.

We are working hard to recover the forests that have been lost due to wildfires in Northern California. After a series of wildfires, the forests will never be the same. A necessary mix of tree species are being planted. More fire-resilient, native tree types have been chosen to prevent
