Post-Fire Restoration helps to begin tree recovery in burn scar areas affected by wildland fire. Many of the species offered by the program provide and/or improve habitat for wildlife. Other species provided by the program may offer restoration to waterways and minimize surface runoff, which in turn reduces soil erosion. Forested or re-forested lands offer numerous benefits such as aesthetics and recreational value. Reforestation projects are important in restoring the affected areas back to their original state or improved state. For questions about prices and minimum order size refer to ordering information. And as an added bonus, the weather is better for planting! Select your shipping or pickup date so that you can plant your seedlings five to six weeks before your area of the state starts having hard freeze days.
