The 2013 Rim Fire scorched over 250,000 acres of Sierra Nevada forest, leaving a lasting impact on local ecosystems. A multi-year restoration effort is underway to restore native forest cover, improve water quality, and provide vital habitat for wildlife.
By planting a diverse range of tree species, the project aims to reduce wildfire risks, promote healthy fire cycles, and prevent the landscape from being overtaken by shrubs. This restoration will enhance carbon sequestration, support biodiversity, and ensure a resilient, thriving forest for generations to come.
