Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington
“Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.” – John Muir
Project Description
This Gift Tree Planting Project is in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington. This forest is one of the oldest national forests in the USA dating back to 1897. The national forest is located in a mountainous, volcanic region between Mount St. Helens and Mount Adams not far from the Columbia River.
The National Forest has suffered from many fires during the last nine years, especially around the iconic peak of Mt. Adams. It is now necessary to restore these areas, and your tree will help stabilize the slopes and improve watershed health amongst the burned forests.
The project will be planting ponderosa pine, western larch, Douglas-fir, and western white pines as this selection of native mixed conifer saplings is optimal to protect the forest from future fires and diseases. The diversity of tree structure allows better resistance to fire propagation or climatic hazards as well as a greater chance of survival in the event of parasite attacks. The operation will make the revitalization of the ecosystem possible and soon to be home to a welcomed biodiversity.
