Sedgwick Moderate Hike. Fire Ecology: Hike to the Heart. February 8, 2025
Saturday, February 8th
9AM-12PM
Join us for a unique opportunity to experience a land recovering from wildfire. In July 2024, the Lake Fire scorched about half of Sedgwick Reserve’s 6,000 acres. This hike will take you into the heart of the Reserve to experience the post-fire landscape firsthand with docent naturalists who will help you understand the changes the landscape is undergoing and the relationship of these natural communities to fire. You will also go through some unburned areas to experience what the woodlands looked like pre-fire. This is a unique opportunity to contemplate the effects, role, and future of fire in our region. This hike is three miles and includes 350 feet of elevation gain. Kids 12 and under are free.
Make sure you have the physical fitness required to go on this hike. You should be able to hike about 35 flights of stairs.
