CZU and You | Naturalist Night: Reintroducing Fire

August 10, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History Free – $4

Fire is a natural part of the California landscape and plays an integral role in our local ecology. For millennia, Indigenous communities have stewarded the land with fire, but centuries of fire suppression, periods of extreme drought, and an expanding populace into the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) have led to increasingly intense fires that threaten communities. The burning question in recent years has been: how do we protect our communities from fire while also supporting “good fire” on the landscape?

Join a panel of experts from Amah Mutsun Land TrustCentral Coast Prescribed Burn AssociationHenry Cowell Redwoods State ParkResource Conservation District of Santa Cruz County, and Sempervirens Fund at the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History for a series of talks exploring this question and the many ways that local groups are managing the landscape both for and with fire.
