Here, we propose establishing a test to gain key information on the effectiveness of cluster planting vs established practices under vegetation control. This study will demonstrate successful reforestation on lands where the Bear Fire killed forest.
Location
Near Feather Falls, California. This site is a publicly owned, 40-ac tract with a 100 year old mixed conifer forest prior to the North Complex Fire and is surrounded by productive industrial forest.
