A reforestation crew plants a seedling on the Mendocino National Forest near Clear Lake, California, April 15, 2026. The U.S. Forest Service, Patriot Restoration Ops, and Clear Lake Environmental Research Center gathered on the Mendocino National Forest to plant seedlings in an effort to restore parts of the forest affected by the 2018 Ranch Fire. In just eight days, the crew planted 71,000 seedlings on the hillside east of the communities of Nice and Lucerne. The ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and incense cedar came from a nearby Forest Service nursery in Placerville, California. The reforestation effort, part of the Northshore Restoration Project, aims to reforest over 2,600 acres. Another project objective is to reduce fuels, such as brush and dead trees, on approximately 40,000 acres, lowering wildfire risk to nearby communities. (Forest Service video by Andrew Avitt)
