Learn more about our precious jewel beyond Bidwell Park: The Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve, 7,835 acres of diverse canyon and ridge habitats, including 4.5 miles of Big Chico Creek, just upstream from Bidwell Park. The Park Fire, started by arson in Bidwell Park, July 24, 2024, rapidly burned ~95% of BCCER. We will present ongoing projects, including longer term post-fire management planning, post-fire research and monitoring, prescribed fire reentry, and spring and oak savannah restoration projects. We will also highlight some of the new botanical discoveries on the BCCER after the fire.
