Field Tour at Humboldt Redwoods State Park
Join UCANR, California State Parks, and CFSC for a series of fire-focused field tours in some of the most beautiful redwood groves around!
Field Tour Overview: The 2003 Canoe Fire burned through nearly 10,000 acres of old-growth redwood forest in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, making it one of the largest fires to affect these iconic forests in recent history. While the fire had mostly low severity effects, some areas burned at moderate and high severity. Now, after 20 years of regrowth, some of the beneficial effects have dwindled, while overs have been maintained through prescribed fire and other management activities. Join the park managers and researchers that were involved in the suppression, management and monitoring efforts for a discussion about the Canoe Fire’s lasting effects, and the past and future of fire use in redwood forests. Tour sites may require up to 1mi of hiking on uneven single track trails
Registration: Number of participants will be limited due to driving and parking constraints. Register by August 12th.
*These tours will be subject to cancellation due to wildfire activity, smoke impacts, extreme heat or other factors.
