Severe wildfires have taken their toll on this National Forest, leaving a charred landscape in their wake. Stands of big cone Douglasfi r, which are only found naturally in southern California, have been greatly affected. Through restoration efforts, native big cone Douglas fir and pine stands can be restored — along with the critical habitat they provide for a variety of sensitive animal species. Replanting will also help to rehabilitate the watersheds above the cities of Los Angeles and Santa Clarita.
