CA Parks Urged to Immediately Mobilize Forest Crews to Save Giant Sequoias in Calaveras Big Trees State Park
Posted by: thepinetree on 02/02/2022 11:01 AM
Arnold, CA...Calling the condition of Calaveras Big Trees State Park “dire”,the Calaveras Big Trees Association today called on the head of California’s state parks to immediately mobilize “a cavalry of forest crews” to rid the 6500-acre park of a massive build-up of dense, dry vegetation.
Photo by Claudia Beymer: In this photo, if you look closely, you will see highly flammable dead trees still standing, large clusters of “ladder trees” that can catapult fire into the crowns of giant sequoias and should be thinned, and fallen tree trunks that need to be removed. It also illustrates the dense understory. The Association believes the condition of the forest has become so dire, that there should be a massive cleanup of the entire park before the planned prescribed burn this Spring.
Photo by Alan Beymer: As crews conduct a “pile burn”, the dire condition of the Park is evident by the density of dead, combustible fuels on the ground and dense overgrowth – a landscape primed for fire by the warming climate. The Association has called for the state to urgently bring in “a cavalry of forest crews” this winter to reduce the massive build-up of fuels that “will surely devastate our giant sequoia groves in a catastrophic fire.”
