7 PM Thursday, February 20, 2025 To register: www.csuchico.edu/herbarium/ or www.friendsoftheahartherbarium.org/ The 2024 Park Fire started in Chico's Upper Bidwell Park and ended up burning through the Ishi Wilderness, including the Beaver Creek Pinery – a remote old-growth ponderosa pine and black oak forest. This forest had proven to be resilient to numerous past wildfires, the last in 1994. But will it hold up to a wildfire burning under some of the most extreme conditions possible? In this talk we will learn what became of this unique landscape and discuss what might be needed to maintain forests, like those of the Beaver Creek Pinery, under today's fire climate. Sponsored by the Ahart Herbarium at California State University, Chico & The Friends of the Ahart Herbarium
