Over 36 million trees died across 2.6 million acres of California's federal, state and private lands in 2022 alone, revealed a report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service.
Tree mortality was particularly high in the central Sierra Nevada Range and forests up north, with the true firs making up over 77 percent of the total dead trees found throughout the state. Last year, the Forest Service launched a decade-long strategy that uses fuel reduction techniques, community hardening practices and congressional funding to mitigate wildfires in the nation's most at-risk places, including California's forests.
