The flames took large portions of the land that resulted in charred soil. Many small wildlife, eggs, and seeds were able to recover quickly.

1999 was the start of seeing regrowth with some plant species. Years following 1999 native grass was starting to regrow. The native grass was the first vegetation to grow after the fire.

The grass was followed by wildflowers and small bushes as the communities of soil recovered. Organisms that died and were decomposed which in turn improved the soil again.

Lodge pole pines were one of the first trees to come back to the forest. When more of the Forrest came back, more and more animals came to populate.

The pines started to grow more. So the grass was reducing its growth and having too much shade.

Biologist expect that other trees will begin to establish themselves into the recovering forest. Once the forest returns to its previous state before the fire, it will be called the climax community.
