A Redding Corpsmember uses a McLeod to clear tree debris from a trail, devastated by the Carr Fire in 2018.

Four years after the devastating Carr Fire in Redding and we’re still seeing the impacts of the inferno.

Trails are being restored, homes being rebuilt, but after winter storms hit the impacts of the Carr Fire are felt in one of Redding’s most used and enjoyed natural wonders.

The Whiskeytown National Recreation Area finds itself at the heart of the burn scar.

When winter rains hit, they leave behind more downed trees and debris.

For the Corpsmembers of the CCC Redding Center it’s hard—yet enjoyable—work cleaning up trails for the public to enjoy.
