California struggles to replant forests

California faces an urgent need to replant forests lost to severe wildfires, which have burned millions of acres and threaten vital ecological functions like carbon storage, water protection, and wildlife habitat. The state's current reforestation efforts are hindered by limited seed bank capacity, reduced federal workforce, and insufficient funding, making it impossible to keep pace with the wildfire landscape. Despite recent increases in planting activity, the overall reforestation rate remains too low to prevent long-term ecological damage, with significant gaps on federal lands and a critical need for increased resources and coordination.
