He is a former Fire Archeologist for Yosemite National Park. He will speak about the Natural Resource Advisor Program he led.

  The 5000 acre Woodward Fire at Point Reyes National Seashore in 2020 burned throughout diverse plant assemblages on the coast. A mix of fire intensity and recent fire history influenced what grew back. In 2021 monitoring plots were designed to address several different compositional changes, including fuel loads and plant diversity.   They will discuss how these methodologies are applicable to other fires in the state.
