This project consists of conifer forest restoration activities in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park in San Diego County, California. The purpose of the project is to re-establish patches of landscape with native conifer trees that will allow for progression of reforestation on acreage in the burned areas of the park. The project provides significant wildlife, recreation, climate, and watershed benefits. It includes four phases of reforestation involving 2500 acres. In addition, the reforestation work will be monitored to determine the impacts of regional climate change to recovery of vegetative cover. Fire risk management projects will be implemented to protect the project area from future catastrophic fire events. The project is being conducted by the California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) in partnership with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire), San Diego State University (SDSU), and University of California, Santa Barbara.
