Fire is a powerful, rejuvenating force in California plant ecology. On this leisurely walk, with some elevation gains and losses, we'll observe and discuss the various effects of fire and its chemical by-products on the flora (and fauna) across several different habitat types, including grassland, oak woodland, and chaparral. Wear clothing and sturdy footwear you don’t mind getting dirty, and expect 3 to 4 miles at a slow pace. Bring water and snacks and dress for the sun and weather!
