A macro view shows newly planted coniferous seedlings at the Sierra-at-Tahoe ski resort within the Eldorado National Forest in California during a reforestation project inside the Caldor Fire burn scar, May 12, 2026. Funded through partnerships with American Forests and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation under the REPLANT Act, the initiative has placed approximately 50,000 trees at the resort over a two-year period, contributing to a broader regional effort that planted roughly 250,000 seedlings across the forest this year to restore fire-damaged ecosystems.
