This message is from the Santa Cruz County Office of Response, Recovery & Resilience. California State Parks has and will be burning piles in various mountain State Parks in Santa Cruz County. This work will be dependent on dry weather and conditions that will facilitate smoke dispersal. Burning will continue as it is safe, through April 2026. Approximately 400 burn piles will be burned throughout Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Castle Rock State Park, and Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, including the Fall Creek Unit. Pile burning in both Big Basin and Henry Cowell is part of a continuing State Park effort to reduce fuel loads around old growth redwood habitats, fostering forest health. Pile burning in Fall Creek Unit at Henry Cowell is part of a larger fuel reduction project at the park unit to alleviate the potential for extreme fire behavior. Pile burning at Castle Rock is part of a forest health initiative to thin understory trees that are outpacing the growth of the black oak woodland which is a unique fire-adapted plant community in the area. Below is more information on the prescribed burns: • Pile burning will be monitored until piles are cold and extinguished. • Burning will continue as conditions allow until the pile burning season ends. • Ignitions are scheduled to occur between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. for all burns. Smoke may be visible in the vicinity of the parks in Santa Cruz County during the pile burning. Monitoring and patrol will occur throughout this period and extend into the evening and weekend as required. All burning is dependent on weather and air quality conditions that are favorable for smoke dispersal and to meet ecological goals. If conditions are not conducive for burning, burns will be rescheduled. These burns are respectively permitted, planned, and coordinated with the Monterey Bay Air Quality Management District and in order to minimize smoke impacts to surrounding communities. Pile burning is a part of fuel reduction projects in these parks and helps to alleviate extreme fire behavior in the event of a wildfire. These projects improve emergency access, foster forest health, and enhance biodiversity. To better inform the public on prescribed burns and other fire operations taking place in State Parks’ Santa Cruz District, which includes all state parks in Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties, please follow the Santa Cruz Prescribed Fires webpage: • Webpage: parks.ca.gov @sccounty #CaWx
