Wildfire Recovery in California

We’re almost there!

Our project in California is close to reaching its goal of planting 96,000 trees to help restore the forests of Los Angeles National Park.

By supporting the regeneration of key habitats affected by California’s wildfires, this project is contributing to

Why do we love our forests?

They protect the clean water millions of people rely on.

They’re home to incredible wildlife and plant diversity.

They give us a place to explore, learn, and reconnect with nature.

Landscapes like this remind us how powerful intact wilderness can be. Here, rivers, forests, and mountains shape each other naturally, creating ecosystems that thrive.

Throwback to the beautiful scenery of the Los Angeles Forest. 🌲
It’s always good to look back and appreciate the landscapes we work to protect—every trail, tree, and view reminds us why forest conservation matters.

After a fire, forests don’t just bounce back on their own—they need help.

The U.S. Forest Service works with land managers to encourage natural regeneration, restore soil nutrients, and guide new tree growth so the forest can recover more safely and effectively.

California’s forests are a big part of how water flows through the state.
Trees keep soil in place, filter runoff, and help rivers flow clean and steady. When forests thrive, so do the communities that depend on these water systems every day.

California isn’t home to just one type of forest—it’s a whole mix.
From coastal redwoods in the fog, to Sierra Nevada conifers, oak woodlands, and chaparral, each forest comes with its own role and challenges. Protecting this diversity is key to keeping the state’s ecosystems healthy

The U.S. Forest Service is at the core of so much of this work. 🌲
They’re not only leading the activities that keep forests healthy, but also sharing vital environmental knowledge—making sure communities understand and stay connected to the landscapes around them.

Throwback to our time with the San Gabriel Mountains Community Collaborative.
Bringing together different voices to shape priorities and advocate for practices that benefit everyone across the Angeles National Forest, the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, and beyond.

A Day in the Life of a Tree Planter

A typical day starts early, usually around sunrise, to make the most of the cooler hours. After a quick check of gear and supplies—tools, seedlings, water—the team heads out to the planting site.

Work is steady and hands-on: digging holes, placing

We’re committed to making our planet greener and healthier. Our team works year-round to restore degraded landscapes and protect our National Forests—bringing life back to ecosystems, supporting biodiversity, and helping communities thrive alongside nature.

California’s national forests offer incredible opportunities for ecotourism—hiking, birdwatching, camping, and enjoying breathtaking nature.

Still, with dry and hot seasons approaching as summer officially arrives, it’s important to keep wildfire prevention top of mind. Here are

This is one of many of our favorite landscapes in California. Did you know that California’s forests play a crucial role in supplying much of the state’s fresh water? They help capture, filter, and regulate water flow, supporting both ecosystems and communities downstream.
