Attention all Santa Cruz Mountains Forest Enthusiasts! Our friends over at the UCANR Fire Network, in collaboration with numerous local partners, have put in an incredible amount of work to bring together the first annual CENTRAL COAST GOOD FIRE FAIR. The event will be held at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park on October 5th, from 10 am to 3pm. 

A first of its kind, the event will be a celebration of good fire and an opportunity to learn who, how, where, and why fire is used in management of central coast ecosystems. The event is being held in the main parking lot and (conditions permitting) will include a live fire demonstration! Standard $10 entrance fee applies for drive-ins, walk/bike-ins to the park are free as always.

I will be at the event all day, soaking in the activities and leading a couple of fire ecology focused forest walks on the Henry Cowell Redwoods Loop Trail. So please come say hi, take a hike, and enjoy the multitude of events (suitable for all ages and abilities) that are planned for the day.

Look forward to seeing you there!
