In Lama, recovery continues with reseeding and erosion controls after the May 5 Honda Fire. Americorps teams with locals planted seeds at Broken Arrow Ranch starting May 31, aided by public agencies. Over 60,000 pounds of seed, 75 percent native grasses and 25 percent non native, were dispersed by helicopter to stabilize soil and protect homes. Cleanup included 250 sediment catchment structures and removal of burned trees by Southwest Fire Fighting crews. The operation cost about $150,000 and destroyed 33 structures across more than 7,500 acres.
