Burn day at Indian Canyon with Kanyon Coyote Woman & the Santa Cruz PDC class learning about the science of TEK. Today's lesson - how to start & tend burn piles in the rain. Last photo is of a coast live oak, near the burn piles, that we've been treating for 6 yrs. #FireMimicry #Permaculture 🌱🌎🌲🔥🍁🪶

Three years ago I began using methods that emulate cultural burning (thinning trees, removing moss & lichen, applying ash & biochar, etc) to restore a grove of ailing coast live oaks in Monterey, CA. Here is how they are faring as of 2 days ago. #firemimicry #restorationecology 🌎🌲🔥🍁🌳🧪🦅🪶

Dendroalsia abietina is a moss commonly found on the trunks of old trees in California. Here is an ancient, culturally modified bay laurel with a shroud of Dendroalsia on its trunk. Is this a historically "natural" phenomenon in California's coastal forests? #Mosses #CMT #FireMimicry 🌎🌲🍁🔥🌳🪶🦅🟢

Here is an ancient oak in Big Sur dating from a time when the Esselen People were the sole human occupants of this land. It got infected with Sudden Oak Death disease several years ago. Here is my attempt to address this pathogen using a "fire mimicry" protocol. #suddenoakdeath #firemimicry #TEK 🌎🌐🌲
