CALIFORNIA CAMP FIRE RESTORATION / FULLY FUNDED

In 2018, the Camp Fire raged across forests near the towns of Concow and Paradise. It ended up being the deadliest fire in California’s history, claiming at least 85 lives, and left vast swaths of forest with no living trees — even mature specimens of fire-adapted species. As climate change heats up and dries out the region, extreme blazes like the Camp Fire are becoming more common. Unless we act now, the landscapes around Paradise are at risk of overgrowing with highly flammable shrubs and grasses – sowing the seeds of future severe burns.

 

California’s climate is changing so fast that traditional reforestation methods can’t keep pace. That’s why American Forests is using the latest climate science to pioneer new tactics to grow healthy, resilient forests. In 2020, American Forests planted 11,000 native seedlings near Paradise as part of a pilot to trial their “climate-smart” reforestation techniques. In 2021 — with the support of Salesforce — they will carry out our first full-scale, climate-informed planting in the Camp Fire burn scar. In partnership with the local conservation district and the Bureau of Land Management, they will reforest 270 acres of burned land that currently have no living trees. This will be the first year implementing a five-year climate-smart restoration plan that American Forests is developing with the BLM and will result in the planting of 41,200 trees. They are in need of support for continuing the Camp Fire restoration in 2022. Their goal is to plant 18,800 trees!

ABOUT TREE PLAN

Did you know: Trees are amazing organisms. Every tree captures carbon dioxide and generates oxygen for other people, plants, and animals on earth. Depending on the size and type of tree, a single mature tree can produce enough oxygen for up to 18 people!

​

Did you know: humanity destroys 18 million acres of forest every year. That’s billions of trees that are being wiped out year-after-year for building materials, paper manufacture, or to make room for cattle grazing or infrastructure development. At Tree Plan, we want to turn that around. It’s our goal to be part of the solution, ensuring that healthy forests and abundant clean air are available for the coming generations.

​

Tree Plan works with individuals, businesses and organizations, empowering them to reforest the planet and reconnect with nature while still realizing their business goals. Our marketing services combine environmental, social, and commercial goals into a single focus. Essentially, we partner with people and businesses to plant more trees!
