En resumen<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Devastado por un incendio forestal el verano pasado, un parque estatal (y todos sus bosques de secuoyas, criaturas y senderos) sufrir\u00e1 una transformaci\u00f3n. Big Basin Redwoods regresar\u00e1 despu\u00e9s de un enorme proyecto de reconstrucci\u00f3n. \u00bfPero c\u00f3mo ser\u00e1?<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n

In the annals of California history, no one has ever had to put a broken state park back together. There\u2019s no guidebook, no rules. So now state officials and conservationists are attempting a complex and extraordinary Humpty Dumpty project: The reawakening of Parque estatal Big Basin Redwoods<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state\u2019s oldest park, Big Basin was nearly erased in last summer\u2019s lightning-caused wildfires<\/a>. In one day, 97% of it burned, destroying buildings that had been standing for 120 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire destroyed roads, bridges, campsites, trails, the visitor center, restrooms, electrical and water systems \u2014 everything that makes a park accessible to the public. Forests of giant redwoods were charred by flames that soared more than 100 feet high. Trees that didn\u2019t fall in the fire were knocked down by howling winds in January, delivering the fatal coup de grace.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all, it was the most comprehensive destruction ever of a major park in California history. Portions of other parks have burned, cracked by earthquakes or submerged by flooding, but not like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the park remains closed, its trails gone. Thousands of dead, blackened trees, tens of thousands of acres of charred shrubs and scores of unearthed boulders still litter the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a rare tour on Thursday proved that regrowth is already apparent. Towering redwoods, stripped of limbs, still manage to crowd out the sky. Some have the look of chimneys, hollowed out by fire. Most are, eight months after the lightning fires, both green and black. Scorched, alligatored bark rises hundreds of feet, but vivid green shoots sprout at their base like fuzzy house slippers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese are resilient, long-lived trees,\u201d said Chris Spohrer, the district superintendent overseeing the state parks in the Santa Cruz Mountains. \u201cIt takes a lot to kill them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State park officials now have a message to get across: The park, 20 miles northwest of Santa Cruz, needs help, mostly money, but also public support and patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state\u2019s early estimate of $200 million for basic wildfire repair across the Parks and Recreation Department will be gobbled up to satisfy Big Basin\u2019s needs alone, estimated at $186 million. But that’s just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know what it will look like. But we do know… it will not look the same in our lifetimes.\u201d<\/p>Chris Spohrer, santa cruz district superintendent<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The tedious work of hauling equipment and materials down a steep ravine to rebuild a trail and a viewing platform at Berry Creek Falls will cost at least half a million dollars, Spohrer said. And the state\u2019s bill for debris and hazard tree removal in the region is now about $270 million, according to the California Office of Emergency Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The repair list is unimaginably long. Here\u2019s a partial catalogue: six vehicle bridges and 46 pedestrian bridges, 85 miles of trail, 53 miles of road, 100 structures, including the park headquarters, a museum, a lodge, 20 ranger homes, hundreds of signs and miles of fences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s going to take a long, long time for the park to be rebuilt, and for the forests to heal. Patience is required. But nature will prevail. Forests are resilient. The thousand-year-old redwoods have seen this before. They are already coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don\u2019t expect an identical Big Basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know what it will look like,\u201d Spohrer said. \u201cBut we do know the park is not going to look the same for a long time. It will not look the same in our lifetimes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wholesale reimagining of California\u2019s oldest state park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spohrer stood in a parking lot off highway 236 on Thursday in the only 15 acres of the park\u2019s front country that did not burn. Spohrer, blond and lanky, is the district superintendent overseeing state parks in the Santa Cruz Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s delivering, not for the first time, a carefully considered message. As awful as the fire was, its aftermath presents a unique opportunity for a wholesale reimagining of Big Basin Redwoods. Decisions will be made about where and if to rebuild structures. Rather than constructing charming wooden buildings, perhaps they\u2019ll use fire-resistant materials and put them in places that aren\u2019t as likely to burn. Maybe they won\u2019t build facilities on the root structures of ancient trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The planning process will begin this summer and is expected to include public meetings, consultation with partner agencies and friends groups as well as local tribes, whose history is not deeply explored in the park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no reopening date yet, it\u2019s far off and subject to the progress of restoration efforts. But the Rancho del Oso area should be open for day activities by Memorial Day, Spohrer said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“One of our important species, marbled murrelet<\/a>, is a seabird that nests in old growth. We are concerned how the fire affected nesting habitat.\u201d<\/p>Joanne Kerbavaz, Big Basin\u2019s senior environmental scientist<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He leads a convoy of four-wheel drive vehicles that bump along a narrow ridgetop road, affording a view of the darkly monochromatic landscape. The stands of knobcone pines<\/a> here are reduced to smudges of ash on the chalky slopes, revealing pale Santa Cruz mudstone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the redwoods survived. The fire\u2019s intensity triggered a survival response in the knobcone pines still standing: The cones are fused tight by a seal of resin. Temperatures of 350 degrees or higher melt the resin and release seeds, which can continue to rain down for years after a fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNature will find a way,\u201d said Joanne Kerbavaz, Big Basin\u2019s senior environmental scientist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other plants have spent their lifetimes adding to the soil\u2019s seed banks, which are stored underground and called upon during times like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The landscape will continue to change, its balance upended: Delicate ferns that had spread in shady ravines under a now-gone dense tree canopy are likely to wither in the summer\u2019s sun and heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The status of the park\u2019s animals, such as deer, owls and racoons, is unknown. Those that could fly or run did so, and will return if they have homes to come back to. A system of trail cameras will help researchers track who\u2019s around, Kerbavaz said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the amount of biomass that\u2019s been removed in the areas that are severely burned, there isn\u2019t the same type of cover or food sources,\u201d she said. \u201cSpecies that could take advantage have moved in, like pileated woodpeckers. One of our important species, marbled murrelet<\/a>, is a seabird that nests in old growth. We are concerned how the fire affected nesting habitat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of the restoration work in the park is straightforward or in an easily accessible place. The park\u2019s most popular site, Berry Creek Falls<\/a>,  is one example of the complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The long descending trail that traces the creek is barely visible and crisscrossed with the husks of tree trunks. The trail\u2019s artfully crafted wooden steps and hand railings are burned, the concrete bridges are lost and the once-burbling creek is clogged with trees and ever-falling rock.  The viewing platform, the site of visitors\u2019 must-have selfies shot facing the cascading waterfall, is gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January the state sent the Federal Emergency Management Agency its preliminary assessment of the repairs. If accepted, the state parks will be reimbursed for as much as 75% of the costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some trees are still smoldering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spohrer said he is \u201cin triage\u201d mode and has prioritized repairing the roads \u2014 which includes rebuilding culverts \u2014 placing the water infrastructure and ensuring public safety. Much of that work involves removing the \u201cstanding dead,\u201d trees that may suddenly crash down three or five years from now, with the impact of a falling building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I worry about,\u201d Spohrer said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s plenty more to worry about. The fire is not out. It is still quietly smoldering in the root systems of some trees. Two weeks ago fire flared again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One change Spohrer hopes to institute is more prescribed burns to lessen the forest\u2019s fuel load. Big Basin has been clearing brush and trees with fire since the 1970s, but the complexities and legalities that often snarl burn plans means that there have been only four prescribed fires in the last 10 years, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its challenges, the park \u2014 which draws more than a million visitors a year \u2014 has a dedicated constituency. Both the Sempervirens Fund<\/a> y el Save the Redwoods League<\/a> raised nearly $750,000 in emergency funding and stand ready to continue that assistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One possible funding source, said Sara Barth, executive director of the Sempervirens Fund, is the Biden administration\u2019s $2 trillion infrastructure plan. With the Vice President and Speaker of the House Californians, the time is right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see how this can\u2019t <\/em>happen,\u201d Barth said. Her organization and others are lobbying in both capitals to free up funding to rebuild Big Basin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be excruciating to have to wait while the forest recovers and parts of the park are open,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s really about whether humans can get their act together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy hope is whatever emerges better be worth it. I am hopeful for the future but it does take a long view. The trees will deliver, let\u2019s be clear.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
