Pile burning at Jasper Ridge, March 4, 2024
A fuel reduction project in March 2024 to improve wildfire resilience in and around the preserve will serve as a living lab for wildfire management research and an opportunity to build a long-term plan towards prescribed broadcast and cultural burns. The pile burn plan was developed by Jasper Ridge staff, Stanford main-campus colleagues, and consulting forester, with support from local fire agencies (CAL FIRE and Woodside Fire Protection District).

PICTURE OF THE MONTH

Piles created from chaparral vegetation near fence line. Piles are covered with craft paper to keep them partially dry, which will aid in ignition during planned burns.
