Tahoe National Forest is in North Eastern California, on the border with Nevada. The American Fire burned 22,500 acres of trees there in 2013. Many of those acres need to be replanted to restore the land. Because wildlife depends on the forest’s trees, critical habitat protection, restoration, and soil erosion prevention are a pressing need in this area.
