Post-fire Monitoring and Management Strategy for Blossom Valley Habitat Conservation Area

Type: report

Article abstract: Background and Purpose of Fire Monitoring Plan: The 286-acre Blossom Valley Habitat Conservation Area (HCA) burned during the Cedar Fire of 2003. Pre-fire, the HCA contained roughly 180 acres of coastal sage scrub, 58 acres of oak woodland and 50 acres of southern mixed chaparral. The Center for Natural Lands Management (CNLM) took title to the property in July of 2004. This Plan fulfills CNLM?s intent to develop a monitoring program that allows preserve managers to determine along what kind of trajectory the HCA is recovering.
