How is California Saving its Forests?
Can California Forests Be Saved?
April 20, 2022 – KQED, the public TV station in Northern California, produced this excellent video called, appropriately enough, Reforestation. The 9:00 minute long video explains the scientific process that geneticists are using to replant our state’s burnt forests. You’ll see the climbers who collect conifer cones in dizzying footage that shows the lofty efforts that are being made to rejuvenate California’s forests by authorities like CAL FIRE and U.S. Forest Service.

May 29, 2021 – What happens after California’s massive wildfires are extinguished?
Rebuilding, in many ways, begins.
For the past 100 years, Cal Fire has been doing its part by assisting in reforestation efforts across the state.
The hub for these efforts is located on a 60-acre site along Chiles Road in Davis. The L.A. Moran Reforestation Center was established in 1921 to embrace Cal Fire’s ongoing mission to protect the people and resources of California, according to the Cal Fire website. The Reforestation Center has produced millions of tree seedlings for the state’s reforestation efforts.
