Hike Description:Art Zack, retired USFS Fire Ecologist will lead us on a field trip to look at areas in the Scotchman Peaks that burned in 2015. We’ll hike along Dry Creek Trail #1020 and take a look at the pattern(s) of fire as it burned across the landscape, what it left behind, how it impacted the landscape and habitats and how they are responded. Exact locations will depend on spring assessments. This walk will emphasize education rather than exercise, with some walking but lots of stops to look at and talk about fire, its behavior and its impacts.
The hike begins at 10 am Pacific time, 11 Mountain, and will last about 6 hours.
