Fire-Followers in the San Gabriels

[Admin 1]

<p></p><p>“Fire-Followers” is the name given to plants that tend to pop up after a wildfire has cleared the land of the usual vegetation. Many of these plants are unusual to the neighborhood, and generally don’t stick around for a long time, so if you’re going to venture into one of the open areas like <a href="http://www.modernhiker.com/2009/04/09/hiking-eaton-canyon/">Eaton Canyon</a> or <a href="http://www.modernhiker.com/2007/10/02/hiking-echo-mountain-and-inspiration-point/">Echo Mountain</a>, it might be helpful to know what you’re looking at.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in learning more about these new plant-residents, the Sierra Club’s Angeles Forest Restoration Project will be hosting a presentation titled “Angeles Forest Recovery and the Fire Follower Plants” at 7:30PM on Wednesday, March 24th at the <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=eaton+canyon+nature+center&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=59.076726,125.683594&ie=UTF8&hq=eaton+canyon+nature+center&hnear=&ll=34.180282,-118.096504&spn=0.118863,0.245476&z=13&iwloc=A" target="_blank">Eaton Canyon Nature Center</a>. The program will be led by Gabi McLean, president of the California Native Plant Society, and Cliff McClean. In 2008, the pair produced a CDROM interpretive guide for the plants of the San Gabriels.</p>
<p>The program is free and open to the public, and the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club’s Forest Committee will host a social reception at 7PM, before the program gets started. </p>
