The Forest Recovery Project is a photographic documentary following the natural recovery of the Angeles National Forest from the Station Fire of 2009. In addition to a very extensive collection of images, organized by month and year, we offer presentations throughout southern California about fire ecology, land management and fire preparedness. Illustrating how environments respond to and recover from fire helps us address the emotional sense of loss and tragedy when a cherished landscape burns, and better understand the role of fire in the long term health of ecosystems. Maintaining a public archive of images preserves that recovery in perpetuity, offering foresters, botanists, biologists and scientists from all disciplines an enormous visual database. Updating the collection is an ongoing process. You can view the full archive here:
