Rim Fire Reforestation






We went to the Rim Fire Reforestation meeting to learn about helping to plant trees in the area devastated by the Rim Fire.  They are looking to plant 7 million trees in the Rim Fire footprint in the next five to seven years.  Planting starts in mid February and goes thru March.  They have to wait until the soil temp is 45 degrees and the air temp stays about 40 degrees.   They are using volunteers and contractors to do the work and will be running volunteer groups 7 days a week.

We are planning to spend at least one weekend planting trees and more if we can fit it in.
