Redwood Complex Fire Footprint Seedling Distribution
Project Overview
Basics
Completed
In October 2017 the Redwood Complex Fire burned over 36,000 acres of Mendocino County’s landscape in Redwood and Potter Valleys. To aid in both forest and community post-fir recovery the South Ukiah Rotary Club (Rotary) put in a speculative seedling order of 45,000 Douglas-fir and 5,000 ponderosa pine seedlings.
Rotary entered into a general service agreement with Mendocino County Resource Conservation District (MCRCD) to carry out the oversight of the delivery and distribution of this speculative order to landowners, residents, and land managers to aid in reforestation activities. Seedlings were delivered in January 2019.

Project Themes
Project Themes
This project provided the opportunity for the reestablishment of conifer forest in areas that were lost to the Redwood Complex Fire, ensuring a carbon sink on the landscape.
This project provided those who accepted seedlings with information on how to properly transport, store, and plant seedlings for optimum success.
This project provided seedlings to landowners, residents, and land managers to implement reforestation projects immediately after the wildfire allowing for a quick reestablishment of lost forestland and helps reduce the risk of vegetation type conversion post-fire (i.e., maintains forestland rather than converting to brushland).
This project provided seedlings for landowners, residents, and land managers to implement reforestation projects that reestablish a healthy, functioning watershed.
