Description

The Burned Area Rehabilitation (BAR) program supports efforts to repair or improve burned landscapes that are unlikely to recover without human assistance. BAR picks up where emergency stabilization from DOI Suppression operations leaves off. Activities include reseeding or planting trees and other vegetation aimed at mitigating the risk of landslides, preventing the establishment of invasive species, maintaining soil productivity, and initiating the recovery of wildlife habitat.
