Calaveras Big Trees State Park Begins Fall Prescribed Burning Program
Big Trees State Park, CA...Weather permitting, Calaveras Big Trees State Park will begin its annual fall prescribed burning program the week of October 24. The park has been conducting prescribed burns since 1976. Fire reduces harmful forest insects, clears fallen debris from the forest floor, and reduces the chances of devastating forest fires. The overall goal of burning is to mimic the natural role that fire has in the ecosystem. 2012 marks the first year of a four-year maintenance program for the ....
North Grove of giant sequoias. With a grant from the Sierra Nevada Conservancy and other state funding, fuels will be reduced, and the North Grove forest will be thinned. When the project is completed, visitors will notice a more open forest.
Communities near Calaveras Big Trees State Park may experience smoke from the burning operations. California State Parks is working with the Calaveras County Air Pollution Control District to limit impacts to smoke sensitive areas.
