Arthur will present the findings of a 3 year CALFIRE funded study conducted in partnership with Pepperwood Preserve, Mark Tukman, and Dr. Jim Thorne. He will trace the story of fire and vegetation in the North Bay over the last 150 years. Integrating a wide variety of sources reveals the surprisingly dynamic patterns of chaparral, hardwood and conifer woodlands in response to wildfire, timber harvest, and wildfire suppression.
