Replant and stabilize high-severity burn areas to restore climate-resilient forests.
Mobilize restoration on high-severity burn scars so forests recover rather than staying stuck in damaged conditions. This strategy supports project selection, partnerships, and field execution on National Forest lands, and turns progress into visible proof that recovery work is happening.
