MEDICAL LAKE, Wash. — Sometimes, getting started is the hardest obstacle to overcome when rebuilding after a fire, and a new guidebook is helping landowners learn how to regrow on scorched land.
Over the past two years, The Washington Department of Natural Resources and have developed a comprehensive guidebook for wildfire survivors who want to replant their burned property.
"This guidebook really helps direct them towards the resources, the considerations and some of the main, best practices to get there," said Kali Klotz of Sustainable Northwest. Her family home was reduced to rubble in the Gray Fire.
Released in June, the guidebook aims to serve as a tool for future fire recovery efforts, making the reforestation process more accessible and less overwhelming for property owners.
