Here’s a photograph from Saturday morning following the prescribed burns in the Elk Prairie area of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. The photo shows three crew members in yellow, black, and red (lower left) at the edge of a tan, gold, and green grassland area, next to the trunk of a spectacular redwood tree (rising from the lower right and disappearing from view in the upper right). The remainder of the background is primarily green needles and leaves from a variety of different trees and shrubs. Prescribed burns are conducted at Elk Prairie as one element of park management.
