Three years after the CZU wildfire that roared through the San Vicente Redwoods, you can go experience the changing landscape as forest management techniques are being used to help protect and regrow the area.
Three years after the CZU fire that roared through the San Vicente Redwoods, you can go experience the changing landscape.For Susie Petrie, a senior project manager with the Peninsula Open Space Trust, walking pathways into the San Vicente Redwoods is like following a wildfire roadmap. The charred tree tops mark the twists and turns of the ferocious CZU blaze that roared through the Santa Cruz Mountains three years ago.
And beyond the destruction, the CZU fire has also brought profound changes to San Vicente. Petrie, says the disaster has accelerated growth along the forest floor. Native plants are regenerating and recreating habitats for wildlife."So it's a really unique opportunity for people who are visiting to come see how fire changed the landscape and how it's progressing over time," Petrie said.
"Those typically are a way to reduce the fuel load in the understory.
"So one of the key goals with prescribed burning is you're trying to thin out a lot of that understory growth with the fire," Rowbotham said. "So it's really a low intensity burn where you're trying to not only reduce the fuel loading on the landscape, but also open up growing space for all sorts of species."
