• The Hayman Fire burned intensely and has had devastating effects on communities and ecosystems.
  • The fire drastically increased erosion and sediment entering the streams and rivers we rely on for drinking water and recreation.
  • Catastrophic wildfires have long-term impacts on waterways and sediment movement. River restoration is a critical component of post-fire recovery.
  • Volunteers help to stabilize slopes and re-vegetate areas affected by the Hayman Fire near Trail Creek. The large ponds are sediment detention basins that help slow stormwater and reduce erosion.
  • CUSP volunteers have been assisting with recovery since shorty after the fire. Saplings are planted after the land has made a sufficient recovery to support new trees.
  • Continuing to work with public and private partners is essential for longterm recovery and forest regeneration. The 2012 Hayman Remembrance Day brought many stakeholders together to reflect on the fire and celebrate a decade’s worth of progress.
  • Over a decade after the fire, volunteers continue to stabilize stream banks and reduce erosion by planting willows.
