DO THE WORK

Post-Fire Land Care

It’s happened. The special place where you have invested time, care, and labor has burned in a wildfire. Now what?

Wildfire severity can vary widely, even over small areas of burned land. Virtually all the vegetation communities in Sonoma County–their animals, soil organisms, and plants–evolved with fire over millennia, and have impressive capacities to cope with fire and even thrive after it. However, on land that hasn’t been managed with fire in mind, fire severity can be extreme on steep slopes, in dense vegetation, or where the fire was driven by high winds.
