Résumé du projet
Recent wildfires have taken a massive toll on privately owned forestlands throughout northern California. These forests are in great need of replanting. This kind of devastation can be overwhelming for individuals and families, and they need support as they begin to help the land heal. Replanting efforts are underway with climate change in mind. Post-fire clean-up is the first step, reducing the threat of future fires. Tree planting is focused on replacing the coniferous tree cover, with a focus on ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and white fir. And landowner education and ongoing support ensure that these forests will thrive into the future. The newly planted trees will grow to support the broad range of biodiversity found here. This includes lodgepole chipmunks, mountain beavers, California mountain king snakes, black bears, wolverines, California bighorn sheep, Pacific fishers, mule deer, mountain lions, and much more.

Contexte local

From the mountains to the coast, North Carolina is blessed with a rich and diverse forest resource. Forests are the dominant land use in North Carolina, and the state's forest industry is a robust economic engine that provides jobs for thousands of citizens.

Forests and woodlands provide environmental, economic and social benefits to their owners and surrounding communities. In North Carolina, 83% of forestland is privately owned, 17% is publicly owned and less than 1% is owned by tribes. More than three-quarters of the approximately 18.7 million acres of forestland are owned and managed by more than 525,000 non-industrial private forest (NIPF) owners (Bissette and Arney, 2020).

North Carolina's forests are regularly affected by large-scale fires and biotic attacks. The North Carolina Forest Service assists landowners by implementing measures to reduce the risk of wildfire and to identify, manage and reduce threats to forest and ecosystem health.
