Five long years of drought, combined with the increased infestation of
native bark beetles as a result of the drought, have contributed to the
death of millions of trees on federal, state, and private lands across
California. As a result, California is now facing the worst epidemic of
tree mortality in modern history.This viewer is brought to you by a subgroup of the Tree Mortality Task
Force (TMTF). The TMTF is comprised of multiple agencies, entities and
stakeholders working together to address the Tree Mortality crisis. The viewer includes various layers related to the tree mortality problem, including ADS data (depicting areas of dead trees), High Hazard Zones, tree removal projects, and more.
