Sequoia National Forestβs plan to address impacts of the Castle and Windy fires has been challenged in court by three environmental organizations.
The 2020 Castle fire burned through all or part of 10 giant sequoia groves on Giant Sequoia National Monument northeast of Bakersfield. The 2021 Windy fire began on the Tule River Reservation and burned onto monument lands managed by the Forest Service, including additional groves. Collectively, the two fires killed hundreds of monarch giant sequoia trees.
