Cone Collection for Post-Fire Reforestation and Restoration
PDF 652 KB
The Forest Service Northern Region expects to collect approximately 2,500 pounds of ponderosa pine, western larch, western white pine, and Douglas-fir seed for reforesting lands burned by wildfire or to reforest after harvest. The majority of the collection is ponderosa pine needed to reforest the Bitterroot National Forest after the 2000 wildfires. The Helena NF and Lolo NF also made collections that are needed to reforest lands burned in 2000. The remainder will be used to plant other areas burned in wildfire or harvest sites over the next five to ten years. In all, the seed will help reforest approximately 39,000 acres of National Forest land.
