# Event Details - **Event Name**: Fire Ecology and Plant Changes Post-Woodward Fire - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm - **Event Description**: How has this unique 5,000 acre fire reshaped the landscape, and what we can it teach us about coastal fires going forward?About this EventHike 6 miles through one of Point Reyes’ most dynamic landscapes—where fire, forest, fog and renewal intertwine. Once known as the “Slow Burn,” the 5,000-acre Woodward Fire of 2020 transformed Mt. Wittenberg, burning with mostly low intensity across 67% of its range. Remarkably, considering that the same lightning storm sparked catastrophic damage in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the Woodward Fire was a gentler rejuvenating burn —a story of resilience written in flame.Part of the Woodward Fire also re-burned areas last touched by the intense 1995 Vision Fire, making this a rare ecological case study: two burns within just twenty-five years.Five years later, the mountain tells a tale of recovery. On this 6-mile guided hike, we’ll explore how Douglas fir forests, coastal scrub, and Ceanothus shrublands are responding to fire and renewal. Along the way, we’ll observe fire-adapted plants, discuss wildfire behavior, and immerse ourselves in a living landscape that’s writing its next chapter.Tanya Baxter, M.S. is a botanist, ecologist and educator.
