American Fire
burned 22,500 acres of trees in 2013
If your tree gift or grove was dedicated between April 1, 2015 and March 31, 2016 it was planted in Tahoe National Forest in the early Summer of 2016.
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 right away 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.
The trees planted are native species to this forest: ponderosa pine, Jeffery pine, Douglas fir, sugar pine or incense cedar.
