Únase al personal del Centro de Ecología de Sonoma para ver cómo se recupera la tierra en Arrowhead Mountain, que se quemó en los incendios forestales de octubre. Observaremos el brote de las plantas de chaparral, observaremos las flores silvestres especiales "seguidoras del fuego", evaluaremos los árboles quemados y aprenderemos a interpretar los paisajes afectados por incendios. Discutiremos: ¿Por qué sucedió esto? ¿Qué significa? ¿Cómo nos preparamos para cuando vuelva a suceder?
The Nicholas Farms property, protected by the District in 1995, is on the Sonoma-Napa County border east of the City of Sonoma, with the hills behind the Scribe Winery running up to the county boundary. Its conservation easement protects the scenic landscape and allows for some agricultural use. We will ascend the hillside on a rough fire road to reach the chaparral zone at the top, where we will enjoy huge views of the north bay and explore the adaptations and responses of this plant community to fire. This is a moderate to difficult 2.5-mile hike, with a 600-foot elevation gain. The terrain is uneven with areas of loose rock and soil. We may pass through brushy areas, with brush along the fire road presenting possible exposure to ticks or poison oak.
There is no charge for this outing, as it is made possible by the voters of Sonoma County who fund Sonoma County Ag and Open Space District’s work with a quarter-cent sales tax. The Fire Recovery Walk series is also paid for by the Sonoma Valley Ecological Fire Relief Fund. Donations to this fund dedicated to fire education, active response, and prevention are gratefully welcome! DONATE: www.sonomaecologycenter.org/sonoma-valley-fires-fund
