To celebrate Arbor Day, Black Hills Federal Credit Union made a donation of $1,100 to the Jasper Fire Reforestation Project.

I would call that a success!”

Local homeowners speak out about impact ATVs have on roads, property

KNBN NewsCenter1 May 7, 2021 BLACK HILLS, S.D. In 2020, the Black Hills National Forest Service sold a record amount of ATV permits, but what does that impact bring for homeowners and residents who live along these trails? Rod and Jan Hines live along Mystic Road and love to entertain their grandchildren, who have problems with asthma. “We couldn’t even let the children go outside to play. It would trigger their asthma so badly that it wasn’t safe. We never open windows, haven’t used our porches at all because the dust is so horrific,” the Hines said. Other residents, like Jan and John Humphrey, who have lived along the Castle Peak Road for 20 years, say they’ve noticed the increased dust, damage to public roads, trails, land and say they’ve seen less wildlife in the past few years, since the boom of ATVs in the area – now, they’re moving on and moving out.

Forest Service planting more than 153,000 trees old Jasper Fire area

KNBN NewsCenter1 April 21, 2021 CUSTER, S.D. Black Hills National Forest Service crews will be out for two-and-a-half weeks to plant more than 153,000 ponderosa pine seedlings over 400 acres in the old Jasper Fire area of the Hell Canyon Ranger District. In 2000, the Jasper Fire burned more than 83,500 acres in the Southern Hills, leaving thousands of acres without a seed source for mature trees – meaning without aid, regrowth was impossible. Working with the Bessey Nursery in Nebraska, forest crews began growing a pine stock to be replanted in the fire scar, and have been successful in the replanting process since in began in 2002.
