Description

Join us for a series of guided tours of the burn zone at Fall Creek State Park! Fall Creek State Park is a sub-unit of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is in the unceded homelands of the Awaswas-speaking Ohlone village known as Sayanta, who stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Centuries of colonial violence led to their removal and displacement. Today, there are no known survivors. Neighboring tribes continue their stewardship and presence here to honor the Sayanta and ensure that they are never forgotten.

This program is supported by our cooperating association Mountain Parks Foundation. We’ll explore how the landscape has responded to the fire, from redwood trees to wildflowers, and banana slugs to birds, as well as share how community members can help monitor the fire’s impacts. This guided experience will support CZU Lightning Complex and Community Science Project. During your visit, we will spend time learning about iNaturalist so that participants may help us track how this landscape is responding to fire. Click here to learn more.
