CAL FIRE Grants at Work
June 9, 2025 – CAL FIRE officials announce grants are at work as American Forests received a $4.9 million Forest Health grant from CAL FIRE in 2021 and is leading an effort to restore more than 2,600 acres of sequoia forests burned by six wildfires in the southern Sierra.
The work involves replanting giant sequoias and other native conifers in areas that were severely burned on the Sequoia National Forest, the Tule River Reservation, and CAL FIRE’s Mountain Home Demonstration State Forest. These efforts are removing dead trees and promoting healthy regrowth in the area, making the area more resilient to the ever-increasing threat of wildfire.
