April 2021 - January 2022
Angeles National Forest

Tree Gifts dedicated between April 1, 2021 and January 31, 2022 were planted in Angeles National Forest 2021. Many of those original trees struggled due to the severe drought of 2022, so replacement trees were planted in the summer of 2023 in a new location in the same forest. The *updated* information below pertains to the 2023 replanted trees which are currently thriving and expected to have a high survival rate. 

Angeles National Forest is in Southern California, in the San Gabriel Mountains north of Los Angeles. In recent years Angeles National Forest has been hit hard by several wildfires, including the Sand Fire which burned over 41,000 acres, the Powerhouse Fire which burned over 30,000 acres, and the Lake Fire which burned over 31,000 acres.

Many of those 100,000+ 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. The trees that will be planted are native species to this particular forest: Coulter pine, ponderosa pine, and big cone Douglas fir.
