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.
