Group donates 2,000 seedlings for High Park Fire restoration
Planting seedlings will ultimately help protect water supplies, restore wildlife habitat and reduce flooding and erosion, according to the Colorado State Forest Service, which is administering the program.
The National Wildlife Federation, a nonprofit conservation organization, is funding the native trees as part of its 75th Annual National Wildlife Week, which began Monday. The program is designed to teach children about nature.
