CAL FIRE’s new Burn Severity Viewer is now live! This interactive map shows how wildfires have impacted California’s vegetation from 2015 to 2023. Designed for landowners, planners, scientists, and communities, the tool helps identify where restoration is needed, plan prescribed burns, and understand changing fire behavior. Built for transparency and resilience, this viewer makes powerful postfire data accessible to everyone. ➡ Explore the tool: bit.ly/BurnSeverityViewer #CALFIRE #WildfireRecovery #BurnSeverity #WildfireResilience #ForestHealth #PrescribedFire #PostFireRecovery

A beautiful peek into Crane Mills' #mastication and #postfirerecovery of the Whitlock within the #Augustcomplex ↓ Mastication is the process of reducing the size of #forest vegetation & downed material by grinding and shredding woody material in the woods. Why do it? 1/3

#Calforests is proud to work with member companies to build a rural #workforce & resilient #forests through #postfirerecovery!! Here's a peep into our latest efforts for the #CaldorFire ↓ @CAL_FIRE

Restoration of giant sequoia grove and Pacific fisher habitat is underway at @SequoiaKingsNPS thanks to funds from the #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw and Burned Area Rehabilitation. #PostFireRecovery #FireEcology More: nps.gov/articles/000/seki-po… 📸Giant sequoia seedlings. NPS

A female flower of an Aleppo pine of about 2-years-old (!!!) naturally established in the area burnt by the Ribera d’Ebre fire (summer 2019). Reproductive precocity at the service of recovery capacity! 📷 by Mara Paneghel #postfirerecovery #resilience #Aleppopine

Following high-severity #Wildfire in 2009, Australian forests are regrowing - but stands' pre-burn age determines their recovery trajectory #Disturbance #PostFireRecovery #OpenAccess @EcologyElle @LTecology doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.3480

Weather both before & after a #wildfire can affect vegetation recovery; a new study tests this idea with longterm data from burned sites in Idaho & Oregon #PostFireRecovery #SagebrushSteppe #OpenAccess @USGS @TrevorCaughlin @cara_applestein doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.3446

An epic few weeks of clearing, pruning, planting ... Finally, more than 3 years after the fires, it feels like I'm getting on top of all the extra work they brought with them. Still a lot to do but balance somehow feels restored. #PostFireRecovery #SpringIsComing #Permaculture

We’re seeing robust natural regeneration of aspen and other plants in Gant Gulch south of Rifle. This area burned in the 2019 #MiddleMammFire. #postfirerecovery

We lost a lot of fruit trees in the wildfires of October 2017 but delighted my best plum tree has come back. This is its first crop since. Just as good as they ever were. #Permaculture #postfirerecovery #plumharvest #offgridliving #buildresilience

And of course, this episode highlights the motivation for #CitizenScience projects such as #EnvironmentRecoveryProject on platforms like @inaturalist and how #PostFireRecovery occurs @callaghanct @will_cornwell @T_Le_Breton
