As we complete our Rapid Assessments and return for longer-term restoration planning, we’re assessing each property, its conservation values, and the impacts. Some properties, we’ll want to direct the future through active measures, like reforestation. Others, we’re simply allowing nature to heal and recover itself.

Several crew members have commented that the Heart K Ranch is one of the most beautiful places they have ever seen, and we have tried to help them understand that they are doing the important work of helping the Heart K recover from the Dixie Fire while preparing it for the next time fire comes around.

Our family has been in this area for generations and I grew up here. I choose to support the Feather River Land Trust because I want my children to have the opportunity to develop an appreciation for the pristine beauty of our local landscape, clean water, and abundant wildlife. Those are things we shouldn't take for granted.
