Boise, ID –– From July to September of 2012, the Trinity Ridge Fire consumed over 140,000 acres of Idaho land north of Mountain Home. With nearly 44 percent of the entire acreage burned classified as moderate to high severity, the fire destroyed the tree canopy, understory, and soil cover.

Ten chapters of the Idaho State Society of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) understood the magnitude of the fire’s devastation and adopted the project of funding the re-planting of two thousand white pine bark trees at the site of the Trinity Ridge Fire.
