Last summer, the Wapiti Fire blazed through Idaho's national forests, destroying over 120,000 acres and leaving a trail of devastation across the Stanley area.
But out of the ashes, the Daughters of the American Revolution have started a fundraiser to jumpstart restoration efforts.
Project Pinecone will send nearly a quarter million pine seedlings to the area over the next few years to revive the once-vibrant landscape.
Janice Beller, a Boise resident and the honorary state regent of Idaho's Daughters of the American Revolution joined Idaho Matters to tell us more about the Project.
