UCANR & CA State Parks Central Coast Good Fire Fair

Thank you to UCANR & CA State Parks for putting on an awesome event!

We enjoyed talking with everyone who stopped by our booth and also connecting with other organizations who were in attendance. During the event, State Parks conducted a successful redwood understory prescribed burn, giving visitors a unique opportunity to witness a demonstration of good fire on the ground.
