That&#8217;s around the size of the state of Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p>If nothing is done to restore a forest after a wildfire, a vicious cycle begins. Fewer surviving trees means <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/colorado\/news\/ponderosa-pine-cones-colorado-beetle-kill-wildfires\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">fewer pine cones<\/a><\/span> for humans to pick and plant. That&#8217;s what happened in the Fremont-Winema National Forest during the Barry Point Fire in 2012, Kittler said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s basically no live trees, and there&#8217;s no natural regeneration happening,&#8221; Kittler said.<\/p>\n<p>Once the pine cones are collected, they&#8217;re brought to a network of nurseries, where the seeds are extracted and grown into seedlings. One million seedlings will plant about 4,500 acres of new forest.<\/p>\n<p>But the program alone is not enough to restore the forest, said Brian Reatini, a geneticist with the U.S. Forest Service. He says they&#8217;re short about 200,000 acres \u2014 and that&#8217;s just in one part of Oregon.<\/p>\n<p>The warming environment also means fewer seedlings will likely grow to maturity, which takes about 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s become much more arid, hotter and dryer. One of the consequences of that, it can push trees towards the edge of what they can physiologically tolerate,&#8221; Reatini said.<\/p>\n<p>To help combat that problem, they&#8217;re sourcing seeds from more &#8220;drought tolerant&#8221; tree species.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The demand for stock now requires all hands on deck. Logging companies like Collins Pine are helping the Forest Service source pine cones and clear scorched land for replanting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fire and ecology and insects and disease \u2014 it doesn&#8217;t care about a property line. So if we&#8217;re able to replant our little block of land, but we&#8217;re surrounded by untreated, burned forest land, eventually that&#8217;s just gonna become a brush field and it will burn again and threaten our land again,&#8221; said Galen Smith, the company&#8217;s vice president of resources.<\/p>\n<p>Neighbors are helping neighbors in a program the Forest Service hopes to expand to other impacted states.<\/p>\n<p>When he looks at the seedlings, Reatini said he sees &#8220;the forests that will be walked through by our children and our children&#8217;s children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<p>                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/eye-on-america\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--sm\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n            More<br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/><\/svg><\/a><br \/>\n                    <\/aside>\n<p><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/jonathan-vigliotti\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Jonathan Vigliotti<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/jonathan-vigliotti\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n              <span class=\"img \"><img alt=\"headshot-600-jonathan-vigliotti.jpg \" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/05\/17\/7487f2d3-e90a-4c41-8e74-a7b51fd37f3d\/thumbnail\/80x80\/4f0b2e7d3046baece625987dffae3cf8\/headshot-600-jonathan-vigliotti.jpg?v=e306e7b9fefc168c00baa623d76d1eaf 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/05\/17\/7487f2d3-e90a-4c41-8e74-a7b51fd37f3d\/thumbnail\/160x160\/8918921f41667c8d344dda8d560b5369\/headshot-600-jonathan-vigliotti.jpg?v=e306e7b9fefc168c00baa623d76d1eaf 2x\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Jonathan Vigliotti is a CBS News correspondent based in Los Angeles.
