Fuel Reduction Work Day: Henry Cowell Redwoods

This is a Fuel Reduction Workday, in which we manually clear fallen debris in select areas of the Redwood Grove, and by doing so, reduce the fuel load and restore old-growth habitat. Park staff will facilitate organizing this debris into brush piles. Participants should be prepared to help with a fair deal of manual labor.

This workday will meet in front of the Visitor Center. If possible, please bring work gloves. Park offers a limited supply.
