A large portion of the forest was burned in the Bastrop County Complex Fire that occurred in September and October 2011 . The fire scorched 34,068 acres ( 13,787 hectares ) , severely impacting the Lost Pines Forest . Since the fire , efforts have been undertaken by several groups to reforest the affected portion of the unique Lost Pines eco-region . The Texas A&M Forest Service and Bastrop County , along with the Lost Pines Recovery Team and TreeFolks , have developed a program to reforest private property affected by the fire , embarking on a 5-year campaign to plant more than 2 million loblolly pine trees on privately owned land in Bastrop County
