Arnold, CA — Calaveras Big Trees State Park is planning to begin strategic prescribed burning on October 28, and anyone interested in the project is invited to attend a town hall-style meeting next week.
The treatments, done in partnership with CAL Fire, the US Forest Service, and the National Park Service, will cover 1,300 acres in the South Grove and an additional 247 in the vicinity of West Moran and Love Creek. Some trails will be closed during the burning, including the South Grove Trail, Bradley Grove Trail, the Beaver Creek area, and the Walter W. Smith Memorial Parkway south of the Stanislaus River.
A town hall meeting will occur on Thursday, October 24, from 6-7 pm in the Calaveras Big Trees State Park Educational Resources Room. Anyone interested can also register to take part virtually, by clicking here.
