Chris Olson, a timber sale administrator with the Gunnison Ranger District, demonstrates how each lodgepole seedling is placed in the soil and where crews position microclimate shade to protect young trees from the intense high-elevation sun, June 11, 2026. Small branches placed on the south side of each seedling shield the young trees from the sun. "Otherwise, a lot of these won't make it," Olson said. (Forest Service photo by Daniel Malta)
