May 8, 2019 - North Fork, California - The Eastern Madera Wildfire Reforestation Project is  focused on reforesting 350 acres of Sierra National Forest burned in the 2014 French Fire.  The project site is located near Mile High Vista along the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway. This  particular area was chosen because of the high severity of wildfire.

The project is being managed by the Yosemite Sequoia Resource Conservation and  Development Council (Y/S RC&DC) in coordination with the Bass Lake Ranger District. Work  began in 2017 and since then steady progress has been made. Site preparation, which  includes tree felling, piling, burning and herbicide spraying, has been completed on 171  acres. Over 58,610 ponderosa pine, sugarpine, and incense cedar seedlings have been  planted on 165 acres. Tree planting for 2019 is currently underway and the project is  expected to be completed on time in fall 2019. 

Reforestation will improve watershed conditions by restoring severely burned areas to  forested conditions, reducing sedimentation and turbidity, and improving water quality for  downstream users. It will also improve habitat by providing stabilization that reduces  erosion of stream banks and meadows. Additionally, reforestation of landscapes will  provide canopy cover beneficial for wildlife. This reduction in sedimentation would also  would benefit public utility infrastructure, including Southern CA Edison and PG&E  hydroelectric facilities, transmission infrastructure and systems.   

Funding for this project has been provided by the Sierra Nevada Conservancy, an agency of  the State of California, under the Water Quality, Supply and Infrastructure Improvement Act  of 2014 (Proposition 1) grant cycle and in support of the Sierra Nevada Watershed  Improvement Program.  

Additional funding has been provided by the Bass Lake Ranger District, the Arbor Day  Foundation and Yosemite Sequoia Resource Conservation and Development Council.   

The Y/S RC&DC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to natural resource  conservation and economic development. The Council service area includes the rural and  foothill communities of Fresno, Madera, Mariposa and Tulare counties.
