Issue

In the wake of a natural disaster like the wildfires that destroyed the Lost Pines Forest of Bastrop, Texas, in 2011, lands that were once covered by thriving forests are left barren and lifeless. Over time the land can rejuvenate, and life can be restored, but the process is very slow without help.

Response

The Arbor Day Foundation has entered into a multi-year-public-private partnership between the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Texas Forest Service aimed at restoring the pine trees lost in the devastating 2011 Bastrop, Texas wildfires. This effort will replant more than 4 million new loblolly pine trees on public and private lands in Bastrop and, with your help, the Lost Pines will be restored to be enjoyed by present and future generations.
