Replanting New Mexico: Wildfire Tree Recovery

How reforestation gives burned landscapes a second chance to thrive

New Mexico’s forests do more than just grow trees. They protect watersheds, provide wildlife habitat, and support the mountain communities that call these landscapes home. When wildfires strike — as they inevitably will — reforestation becomes a vital act of renewal.

Across the state, land managers and restoration crews are working to help these forests recover through a combination of native tree planting, erosion control, soil stabilization, invasive species removal, and long-term forest monitoring. It’s not just about putting seedlings in the ground — it’s about helping wildfire-affected landscapes adapt, regrow, and return stronger for the next generation.

Below are several major wildfires on that have left long-lasting impacts on New Mexico's tree canopy — and the ongoing recovery efforts that are helping these forests heal.

Scott Able Fire 

In May 2000, a downed power line in Scott Able Canyon sparked a fast-moving fire in the Sacramento Mountains. About 16,000 acres burned, and dozens of homes were lost.

Today, reforestation in this area focuses on restoring ponderosa pine and mixed-conifer habitat, stabilizing mountain slopes, and building a more fire-resilient forest where neighborhoods and woodlands meet.

Restoring Wisconsin’s National Forests: White Pine, Red Oak, Hemlock & Tamarack Take Root

Wisconsin’s forest landscapes have gone through major changes over the last century. Historic logging, wildfires, invasive pests, and land-use changes left many areas in need of renewal. Today, reforestation efforts across Wisconsin’s National Forests — including the Chequamegon-Nicolet — are helping restore iconic tree species that once defined this region: eastern white pine, red oak, eastern hemlock, and tamarack.

By planting new trees in areas where forests were lost or damaged, foresters are rebuilding thriving ecosystems that will benefit people and wildlife for generations.

🌲 Bringing Back Eastern White Pine

White pine was once the dominant tree across northern Wisconsin — especially prized by early loggers for its tall, straight trunks. But massive timber harvests in the late 1800s and early 1900s drastically reduced white pine populations.

Reforestation projects are now working to re-establish white pine where it historically flourished. This fast-growing native species:

• Provides excellent cover and winter shelter for wildlife

• Stores large amounts of carbon as it matures

• Helps rebuild multi-layered forest structure and long-term diversity

White pine seedlings planted today will grow into the towering giants Wisconsin’s forests were once known for.

🌲 Strengthening Forest Resilience with Eastern Hemlock

Eastern hemlock adds cool, shaded habitat and stabilizes streambanks — making it essential for healthy waterways and cold-water fisheries. But Wisconsin has seen steep declines in hemlock due to over-harvesting and the spread of hemlock woolly adelgid in other states.

Planting hemlock in suitable habitat supports:

• Better water quality and more stable trout streams

• Increased biodiversity in northern hardwood forests

• Future seed sources that help rebuild the species’ range

Restoring hemlock helps preserve a uniquely northern forest environment rich in wildlife.

🌲 Restoring Wetlands with Tamarack

Tamarack (also known as American larch) is one of the few deciduous conifers — it turns golden in autumn and drops its needles in winter. Once widespread in northern bogs and wetlands, tamarack is now being replanted to offset losses from pests like the larch sawfly and changes in hydrology.

Why tamarack matters:

• Supports marsh birds, beavers, and rare bog species

• Stabilizes wetland soils and improves water storage

• Adds resilience to habitats vulnerable to climate shifts

Replanting tamarack ensures Wisconsin’s wetlands continue to support rich ecosystems.

🌱 Why Reforestation Matters

Tree planting in National Forests helps ensure that:

✔ Forests damaged by harvest, storms, or pests recover quickly
✔ Wildlife habitat and food sources are restored
✔ More carbon is captured and stored in living forests
✔ Future generations can enjoy healthy woodlands and clean air

Each new seedling nurtures long-term forest health while preserving Wisconsin’s natural heritage.

A Living Forest Legacy

The work being done today in Wisconsin’s National Forests ensures that iconic northern tree species — white pine, hemlock, and tamarack — continue to define the landscape for decades to come.

As these young seedlings grow into mature forests, they will protect wildlife, strengthen local ecosystems, and keep Wisconsin wild, green, and thriving.

Restoring Florida's State Parks: Longleaf Pine Reforestation 

Over the past century, Florida has seen a dramatic decline in one of its most iconic and ecologically important trees: the longleaf pine (Pinus palustris). Once spanning over 90 million acres across the Southeastern United States, longleaf pine ecosystems have dwindled to less than 5% of their original range—largely due to logging, land development, and fire suppression. But thanks to dedicated reforestation efforts, including restorative programs like "Plant-a-Pine" by Florida State Parks, the longleaf pine is making a slow but determined comeback.

Why Longleaf Pine Matters

Longleaf pine forests are some of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in North America. They provide critical habitat for a range of wildlife species, including:

• The endangered red-cockaded woodpecker

• Gopher tortoises, a keystone species that support over 300 other species through their burrows

• Unique groundcover plants and wildflowers

Longleaf pines are also fire-adapted, meaning they rely on regular, low-intensity fires to thrive—fires that help reduce underbrush, recycle nutrients, and prevent more catastrophic wildfires.

Restoring Michigan’s Pine Forests – One Seedling at a Time

Across Michigan, forests are quietly being rebuilt through terrestrial reforestation projects that focus on planting native tree species like red pine and jack pine. These hardy conifers are well-suited to Michigan’s sandy soils and northern climate, and they play an important role in restoring healthy forest ecosystems after logging, pests, or severe weather.

Michigan's Department of Natural Resources plants thousands of acres of new trees every year—mainly red pines—on land where older pine forests were harvested. By replanting right away, they help new forests grow quickly, keeping state lands green and healthy.

These growing forests also store carbon and create important homes for wildlife over the decades as the trees mature.

Why Red Pine and Jack Pine?

Red pine and jack pine are two of Michigan’s signature species:

• Red pine grows tall and straight, forming classic “up-north” pine stands that help stabilize soils, filter water, and provide nesting and cover for wildlife.

• Jack pine is a scrappy, sun-loving tree that thrives on dry, sandy sites. It’s also essential habitat for species like the Kirtland’s warbler, which depends on young jack pine forests to survive.

By planting a mix of these native seedlings, reforestation projects help:

• Rebuild forest cover on damaged or depleted lands

• Improve wildlife habitat and biodiversity

• Protect watersheds and reduce erosion

• Store carbon and support long-term climate resilience

The Power of Planting Trees: The Real Impact of 1 to 1,000 Conifer Seedlings

When you plant a tree through A Living Tribute, you’re doing far more than adding greenery to the landscape — you’re helping restore forests, rebuild ecosystems, and create living legacies that honor people and the planet.

Each seedling planted supports large-scale reforestation projects across North America, where native conifers are restoring wildlife habitat, improving air and water quality, and capturing carbon for generations to come.

But how much difference does each tree really make? And what happens when you plant 10, 100, or even 1,000 trees?

Below, we explore the real, measurable impact of planting different quantities of bare-root conifer seedlings — the same type used in many of our reforestation projects throughout the U.S. and Canada.

🌱 1 Seedling — A Single Living Legacy

Even one tree seedling planted starts a ripple effect of renewal.

A single conifer — such as a Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine, or longleaf pine — can:

• Absorb about 48 lbs of CO₂ per year once mature, or nearly 1 ton over its lifetime.

• Release enough oxygen annually for two people to breathe for a day.

• Begin stabilizing soil and retaining groundwater, especially on degraded slopes.

• Offer the first bit of shelter and food for insects, pollinators, and small birds.

Planting just one tree begins the long-term process of transforming bare ground back into forest.

🌲 5 Seedlings — The Start of a Micro-Habitat

Five conifer seedlings collectively represent the early recovery of ~0.014 acres of land.

Together, they can:

• Sequester around 5 tons of CO₂ over their lifetimes.

• Start forming a micro-habitat that attracts songbirds, rabbits, and beneficial insects. Tree planting locations in Northeast Michigan are now utilizing bioacoustic sensors to detect the presence of species such as the Kirtland's Warbler, which is an indicator of ecological health and restoration success.

• Improve soil structure, reduce erosion, and kickstart native understory growth.

• Filter rainwater naturally, protecting nearby waterways.

Even a small grove creates a foundation for biodiversity.

🌳 10 Seedlings — A Mini-Forest Takes Root

Ten seedlings re-establish about 0.028 acres — roughly the footprint of a suburban lot.

Over time they will:

• Capture 10 tons of CO₂, enough to offset an average car’s annual emissions.

• Filter over 20,000 gallons of rainfall each year, recharging groundwater.

• Create shaded microclimates that cool the soil and promote biodiversity.

At this scale, you begin to see measurable environmental and climate benefits in a single growing season.

25 Seedlings — Reclaiming Ground for Wildlife

Twenty-five seedlings restore about 0.07 acres of forest — small in size but mighty in function.

These trees will:

• Remove 25 tons of CO₂ over their combined lifetimes.

• Rebuild underground mycorrhizal networks that share nutrients and water.

• Provide nesting and foraging space for birds, chipmunks, and beneficial insects.

• Help prevent invasive species from dominating open soil.

Even modest plantings like this are vital connectors between larger forest patches.

100 Seedlings — Carbon Sequestration and Soil Recovery

A hundred seedlings restore about 0.28 acres of land — just over a quarter acre.

Their lifetime impact includes:

• 100 tons of CO₂ sequestered, the equivalent of removing 20 cars from the road for a year.

• Hundreds of gallons of water retained in the soil after each rainfall.

• A burgeoning wildlife corridor where understory plants and pollinators begin returning.

At this level, the forest begins to function as a natural climate solution.

250 Seedlings — Rebuilding a Forest Corner

Planting 250 seedlings brings ~0.7 acres back to life — the size of a small field.

The ecological payoff:

• 250 tons of lifetime carbon storage.

• Dramatic improvements in soil fertility and microbial diversity.

• Stabilization of slopes and runoff reduction during heavy rainfall.

• Refuge for wildlife, from deer and owls to ground-nesting birds.

At this scale, forests begin self-sustaining regeneration cycles.

500 Seedlings — A Regenerating Grove and Carbon Sink

Five hundred seedlings restore roughly 1.4 acres — more than a football field’s end zone.

Their long-term impact:

• 500 tons of CO₂ sequestered as they mature.

• Thousands of gallons of rainwater filtered monthly, improving watershed quality.

• A balanced mix of tree heights and canopy cover, supporting multi-layered ecosystems.

• A noticeable cooling effect, reducing local temperatures through shade and transpiration.

At this level, your planting becomes a measurable carbon sink and thriving wildlife habitat.

1,000 Seedlings — Restoring 2.8 Acres of Forest

A thousand seedlings represent 2.8 acres of restored forest — enough to transform a hillside, wetland edge, or a small burn scar.

Over the next 50–100 years, they will:

• Store approximately 1,000 tons of CO₂, equivalent to offsetting 2.5 million vehicle-miles.

• Filter and recharge hundreds of thousands of gallons of clean water annually.

• Provide long-term habitat for hundreds of species, from raptors to pollinators.

• Anchor soils, prevent erosion, and cool the surrounding air by up to 10°F.

• Form a self-sustaining forest community that regenerates naturally for centuries.

At this scale, your contribution doesn’t just offset emissions — it brings a forest back to life.

🌎 Every Tree Counts

Whether you plant one tree seedling or one thousand, you’re part of a powerful movement to heal our forests. Each tree adds to a growing canopy of carbon storage, habitat creation, and hope for our future generations.

By planting through verified reforestation partners, your tree planting gift ensures native species, local stewardship, and measurable results — one seedling at a time.

🌿 Restoring the Angeles After the Station and Powerhouse Fires

Rebuilding a Resilient Forest in Southern California

The Angeles National Forest and San Gabriel Mountains have long stood as some of Southern California’s most cherished natural spaces. But in recent years, these landscapes have endured devastating wildfires that reshaped their ecology and tested the resilience of the land.

Two of the most destructive — the Station Fire (2009) and the Powerhouse Fire (2013) — together scorched nearly 190,000 acres of forest. Recovery has taken more than a decade of coordinated reforestation, careful planning, and collaboration. New trees will take root primarily in the Charlton-Chilao and Lake Hughes areas—places where both natural stands and earlier tree plantations have been heavily impacted by not only fire, but drought and insects.

🔥 The Station Fire (2009)

Igniting on August 26, 2009, along the Angeles Crest Highway, the Station Fire quickly became one of the largest in Los Angeles County’s history, consuming over 160,000 acres of the Angeles National Forest — roughly a quarter of the entire forest. It destroyed 89 structures, claimed two firefighters’ lives, and left behind slopes vulnerable to erosion and invasive weeds.

Unlike many Southern California fires, the Station Fire’s rapid spread wasn’t driven by wind but by severe drought, low humidity, and accumulated fuels after decades of fire suppression. Entire high-elevation pine forests and lower mixed-conifer stands were lost.

In its wake, the Forest Service began replanting efforts in priority zones such as Charlton–Chilao, where natural regeneration was limited. The work includes removing invasive species, stabilizing watersheds, and reestablishing native conifers across thousands of acres of burned terrain. Today, projects in this area continue to restore habitats for wildlife and prevent soil loss in the Big Tujunga watershed — an area critical for the region’s water supply and biodiversity.

🔥 The Powerhouse Fire (2013)

Four years later, the Powerhouse Fire ignited on May 30, 2013, near Lake Hughes, burning through 30,274 acres of rugged terrain before containment on June 8. Investigations traced the ignition to electrical equipment failure. The fire destroyed 53 structures and deforested roughly 10,000 acres of woodland, where more than half the mature trees were lost.

Reforestation efforts like the Sawmill–Liebre and Powerhouse Fire Restoration Projects are replanting native tree species across burned slopes and canyons to rebuild forest structure and watershed health. These efforts aim for 75–100 trees per acre surviving after five years — a benchmark for successful forest recovery in challenging post-fire environments.

🌱 What’s Being Planted

Current reforestation across the Angeles National Forest includes about 61,750 tree seedlings planted over 640 acres, focusing on Charlton–Chilao and Lake Hughes — both key recovery areas from the Station and Powerhouse burn scars.

Tree seedlings are selected for resilience to drought, elevation, and fire stress. The seedling mix includes:

• Coulter Pine (Pinus coulteri) – drought-tolerant and deep-rooted, ideal for steep terrain

• Jeffrey Pine (Pinus jeffreyi) – adapted to higher elevations, with aromatic bark

• Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa) – fast-growing and ecologically foundational

• Sugar Pine (Pinus lambertiana) – vital for biodiversity and forest canopy structure

• Bigcone Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga macrocarpa) – a Southern California native critical for slope stability and wildlife habitat

These tree plantings are monitored for survival rates and complemented by weeding, invasive control, and erosion protection, ensuring each tree has the best chance to thrive.

🌄 Healing the Land, One Tree at a Time

Reforestation is a long-term process — it can take decades before planted areas resemble mature forests again. Yet each sapling represents resilience: stabilizing soil, restoring habitat, capturing carbon, and laying the foundation for a living forest that future generations can enjoy.

The Angeles National Forest’s ongoing replanting work stands as a model for climate-adaptive restoration in California’s fire-prone landscapes. Through partnerships and public support, this once-charred terrain is steadily returning to life — tree by tree.

🌿 Help Restore California Forests

Every tribute tree funds the planting of a native seedling in California’s National Forests — including the Angeles National Forest, where the Station and Powerhouse restoration continues today. Your tree helps rebuild habitats, restore natural beauty, and leave a lasting legacy of renewal.

Lake Fire Reforestation: New Life in the San Bernardino Mountains 🌲

In this edition of our reforestation spotlight series, we look back at the Lake Fire Reforestation Project on the San Bernardino National Forest — a multi-year effort that brought new growth to a landscape forever changed by wildfire.

A Forest Transformed

In the summer of 2015, a massive wildfire called the Lake Fire swept through the San Bernardino Mountains near Big Bear Lake, California. The blaze burned more than 31,000 acres of forest, including popular recreation spots around Barton Flats, Seven Oaks, and Onyx Summit.

The fire left behind steep, rocky slopes and wide open hillsides where almost every tree had been lost. In some of these areas, the forest couldn’t grow back naturally — so reforestation efforts began to bring new life to this beloved mountain region.

Replanting Hope 

Beginning in 2017, crews and volunteers returned to the burn area to plant thousands of young trees. These new seedlings — mostly native pines and firs — were carefully planted on the hillsides that needed the most help, especially where mature trees had been completely destroyed and no natural seed sources remained.

Over time, these small trees have taken root and begun to transform the once-blackened slopes back into living forest. What was once a stark, gray landscape is now dotted with green — a visible reminder that nature can heal with a little help.

Reforesting Colorado’s Grand Mesa: North Zone Tree Planting in 2024 🌲

High atop western Colorado lies the Grand Mesa, the largest flat-topped mountain in the world. Known for its lakes, forests, and sweeping views, it’s also a place where forests have faced challenges in recent years. Warmer temperatures, insect outbreaks, and wildfires have left behind open gaps where trees once thrived.

In 2024, new life returned to the North Zone of the Grand Mesa through tree planting and reforestation efforts. Thanks to caring supporters, thousands of young seedlings are taking root on this landscape, helping to heal the forest and ensure its beauty lasts for generations to come.

What Happened in 2024

• New seedlings were planted in priority areas where natural regrowth wasn’t enough on its own.

• High-elevation species like Engelmann spruce were chosen for their ability to thrive in the cool mountain climate.

• Careful attention was given to planting sites—such as shady spots and areas with natural moisture—so the young trees have the best chance to grow strong.

Every tree seedling planted brings this reforestation project closer to restoring healthy, diverse forests that can withstand future challenges.

Give a Tree: Why A Living Tribute’s Plant-a-Tree Cards Are a Lasting Alternative to Sympathy Cards and Flowers

When someone passes away, sending condolences is a timeless way to show you care. Traditionally, this has meant sending flowers or a sympathy card — heartfelt gestures, but ones that fade quickly and are eventually discarded.

With A Living Tribute, you can send something far more meaningful: a living memorial that grows stronger with time, helps restore forests across America, and leaves a positive environmental legacy in honor of a loved one.

A Gift That Lives On

• Flowers wilt within days, and sympathy cards are often tucked away or recycled.

• A card from A Living Tribute represents a living tree planted in someone’s honor. These trees grow for years to come, restoring forests and symbolizing hope and renewal.

• Instead of sending something fleeting, you’re giving a gift that endures, improves the environment, and stands as a living legacy.

Since 2014, more than 800,000 trees have been planted through our memorial tree programs—each one helping to heal our nation's forests and woodlands while honoring a life.

Healing the Land Through Reforestation

Every sympathy card from A Living Tribute directly contributes to reforestation in areas that need it most. Trees are planted in forests recovering from wildfires, insect infestations, and other natural challenges.

• Restoring wildfire scars: Seedlings are planted in places devastated by fire, where natural regeneration can’t keep up.

• Rebuilding wildlife habitat: New trees provide food and shelter for countless species, from birds and mammals to pollinators.

• Protecting clean air and water: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, release oxygen, and filter water as it flows through watersheds.

• Stabilizing soil: Roots help prevent erosion and protect delicate ecosystems.

Each 1,000 tree seedlings planted can restore 2–3 acres of forest. Even a single tree makes a difference—helping revive lands damaged by wildfire, pests, or disease, and transforming grief into growth, loss into renewal.

Tree Planting Impact 🌲

• 1 Tree – Provides clean air and wildlife habitat, playing a small but meaningful role in forest restoration.

• 5 Trees – Restores about 1/100 of an acre, multiplying habitat support and air purification.

• 10 Trees – Restores about 1/50 of an acre, helping stabilize soil and bring balance back to ecosystems.

• 25 Trees – Restores about 1/20 of an acre, significantly aiding recovery after wildfire, pests, or disease.

• 100 Trees – Restores about 1/5 of an acre, making a major contribution to reforesting damaged landscapes.
