Times-News (Twin Falls, ID)
South Hills forest and grazing land blackened in the Badger Fire.
Restoration and seeding efforts started following the fire that was sparked
Sept. 12 are paying off.
"I think the way it looks will be a shocker for folks," said District Ranger
Randy Thompson, with the
US Forest Service Minidoka Ranger District.
The burned areas will appear "naked," despite the sprouts already coming up, but within two years it will begin to fill in, he said.
Thompson said
Forest Service members cried and wrung their hands after the fire. Then they made plans. Now it is time to work, he said.
