(The Amah Mutsun Land Trust was also supported and sponsored in its genesis by the Sempervirens Fund.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s this same ethos that Lopez and the Amah Mutsun want to bring to Big Basin, says Lopez: \"to bring back the traditional ways of stewarding and managing these lands.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concrete ecological asks made by the Amah Mutsun include the management of tree volume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maximizing tree growth on land like this \"does not make a healthy forest,\" says Lopez, who is advocating to reduce the number of trees to increase sunlight on the forest floor: \"That right there is really important to take care of the insects, the birds, the four-legged who depend on that landscape there for their foods, and their materials — for their survival.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Related is the Amah Mutsun’s request to increase the amount of open meadow within the park, of the kind historically stewarded by Indigenous people there. Such open meadowland was \"really important to ensure the biodiversity within the forest,\" says Lopez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, Big Basin’s natural recovery after the CZU fire provides a glimpse of that sort of change: wildflowers in bloom, like violets, recently carpeted areas of the forest floor.

Tribes held annual controlled burns to clear out underbrush and to encourage the new growth of plants in a managed way. When those Indigenous communities were forcibly removed from their lands by colonizers, who also banned religious ceremonies, this cultural burning was severely throttled. Both California and federal authorities instead pursued a policy of swiftly extinguishing wildfires — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835084/to-manage-wildfire-california-looks-to-what-tribes-have-known-all-along\">an approach that is only just beginning to be reversed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most recently, a history of prescribed fire around Yosemite National Park's iconic Mariposa Grove — a group of giant, ancient sequoias in the park — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1979849/decades-of-good-fires-save-yosemites-iconic-grove-of-ancient-sequoia-trees\">has been hailed as an instrumental force in defending those trees against the Washburn Fire\u003c/a>. Prescribed burns reduced forest fuels in the area, and permitted the fire to move through the grove without inflicting damage on the sequoias themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This need for \"good fire\" has affected every aspect of the Big Basin redesign, Spohrer says: “By being selective and thoughtful about where we place infrastructure, whether it's buildings or it's trails or anything that's the built environment, we can set ourselves up for the ability to do successful prescribed burning in this area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'Restoring the sacredness to the ground'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\"I think when you come into this park now as it is even today [post-fire], you can start to experience what this forest felt like prior to when it started being more developed,\" says Spohrer, who calls this \"a significant change\" that’s \"been influenced by our tribal partners.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this kind of physical evolution isn’t just about changing the way Big Basin looks and feels for the general public visitor base.

Of California State Parks interpretation in general, “you read the history that’s on those boards or their interpretive signs and stuff like that — you know, the older ones, they don't say a darn thing about Indigenous people,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's kind of like the land was cleared and they just came in and claimed it, you know? And this was one of the most populated areas in North America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Lopez and the Amah Mutsun, the deep wounds of California’s history of genocide and cultural erasure targeted at the state’s Native American communities make the need to return Big Basin in some way to Indigenous stewardship all the more urgent — for restitution, and for healing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a lot of brutality, an incredible amount of brutality. And that has to be acknowledged.

Spohrer says that officials’ “overarching principle” is to “try and retain the amount of camping recreation that we had in the park prior to the fire.” But he notes that of all the elements of Big Basin’s return, camping is one of the ones that will take the longest because of the sheer amount of infrastructure camping facilities demand — and that it’ll be several years until campers can return to the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Big Basin staff, talk of rebuilding the campgrounds comes with particularly raw memories of the campground evacuation that took place when the flames of the CZU fire began to become visible on the horizon: “a flaming front,” as Spohrer puts it, that “moved extremely rapidly” toward the campers gathered below. That night in August 2020, the campgrounds were full with summer vacationers, who were all successfully evacuated from the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11919845\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11919845 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A person wearing a California State Parks uniform and a yellow wide-brimmed hat turns away from the camera to point at the redwoods behind them.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Spohrer, state parks superintendent in the Santa Cruz area, stands in front of burned redwood trees at Big Basin Redwoods State Park on May 26, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It was remarkable how quickly our staff was able to respond and to successfully get everybody out without loss of life,” says Spohrer.

It’s for that reason, says Lopez, that the Amah Mutsun \"feel that it's very important that we ensure that their lands are spoken for. That the Awaswas ancestors are remembered and never forgotten.

(The Amah Mutsun Land Trust was also supported and sponsored in its genesis by the Sempervirens Fund.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s this same ethos that Lopez and the Amah Mutsun want to bring to Big Basin, says Lopez: \"to bring back the traditional ways of stewarding and managing these lands.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concrete ecological asks made by the Amah Mutsun include the management of tree volume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maximizing tree growth on land like this \"does not make a healthy forest,\" says Lopez, who is advocating to reduce the number of trees to increase sunlight on the forest floor: \"That right there is really important to take care of the insects, the birds, the four-legged who depend on that landscape there for their foods, and their materials — for their survival.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Related is the Amah Mutsun’s request to increase the amount of open meadow within the park, of the kind historically stewarded by Indigenous people there. Such open meadowland was \"really important to ensure the biodiversity within the forest,\" says Lopez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, Big Basin’s natural recovery after the CZU fire provides a glimpse of that sort of change: wildflowers in bloom, like violets, recently carpeted areas of the forest floor.

Tribes held annual controlled burns to clear out underbrush and to encourage the new growth of plants in a managed way. When those Indigenous communities were forcibly removed from their lands by colonizers, who also banned religious ceremonies, this cultural burning was severely throttled. Both California and federal authorities instead pursued a policy of swiftly extinguishing wildfires — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835084/to-manage-wildfire-california-looks-to-what-tribes-have-known-all-along\">an approach that is only just beginning to be reversed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most recently, a history of prescribed fire around Yosemite National Park's iconic Mariposa Grove — a group of giant, ancient sequoias in the park — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1979849/decades-of-good-fires-save-yosemites-iconic-grove-of-ancient-sequoia-trees\">has been hailed as an instrumental force in defending those trees against the Washburn Fire\u003c/a>. Prescribed burns reduced forest fuels in the area, and permitted the fire to move through the grove without inflicting damage on the sequoias themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This need for \"good fire\" has affected every aspect of the Big Basin redesign, Spohrer says: “By being selective and thoughtful about where we place infrastructure, whether it's buildings or it's trails or anything that's the built environment, we can set ourselves up for the ability to do successful prescribed burning in this area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'Restoring the sacredness to the ground'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\"I think when you come into this park now as it is even today [post-fire], you can start to experience what this forest felt like prior to when it started being more developed,\" says Spohrer, who calls this \"a significant change\" that’s \"been influenced by our tribal partners.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this kind of physical evolution isn’t just about changing the way Big Basin looks and feels for the general public visitor base.

Of California State Parks interpretation in general, “you read the history that’s on those boards or their interpretive signs and stuff like that — you know, the older ones, they don't say a darn thing about Indigenous people,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's kind of like the land was cleared and they just came in and claimed it, you know? And this was one of the most populated areas in North America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Lopez and the Amah Mutsun, the deep wounds of California’s history of genocide and cultural erasure targeted at the state’s Native American communities make the need to return Big Basin in some way to Indigenous stewardship all the more urgent — for restitution, and for healing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a lot of brutality, an incredible amount of brutality. And that has to be acknowledged. And perpetrators such as the state of California, they have to acknowledge their responsibility for that violence,” says Lopez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have to understand that for them to heal as a perpetrator, they need to respect the Indigenous people and they need to work with us to help us restore our culture. To restore our spirituality. To restore our environments. To restore our Indigenous knowledge.

Spohrer says that officials’ “overarching principle” is to “try and retain the amount of camping recreation that we had in the park prior to the fire.” But he notes that of all the elements of Big Basin’s return, camping is one of the ones that will take the longest because of the sheer amount of infrastructure camping facilities demand — and that it’ll be several years until campers can return to the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Big Basin staff, talk of rebuilding the campgrounds comes with particularly raw memories of the campground evacuation that took place when the flames of the CZU fire began to become visible on the horizon: “a flaming front,” as Spohrer puts it, that “moved extremely rapidly” toward the campers gathered below. That night in August 2020, the campgrounds were full with summer vacationers, who were all successfully evacuated from the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11919845\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11919845 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A person wearing a California State Parks uniform and a yellow wide-brimmed hat turns away from the camera to point at the redwoods behind them.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS56328_011_KQED_BigBasinRedwoods_05262022-qut-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Spohrer, state parks superintendent in the Santa Cruz area, stands in front of burned redwood trees at Big Basin Redwoods State Park on May 26, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It was remarkable how quickly our staff was able to respond and to successfully get everybody out without loss of life,” says Spohrer.

Rising air cools, and the cooling causes water vapor in the air to condense. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ggweather/status/827669195877908481\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When moisture-laden air is driven across coastal terrain by vigorous winter storm winds, that process of orographic lifting leads to significantly higher amounts of rainfall over the mountains and hills. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, areas to the east of the high terrain are in \"rain shadows\" that receive dramatically lower amounts of precipitation than sites in or to the west of the mountains. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What happens with orographics ... that air flow that's below two or three thousand feet, or in the case of San Francisco below a thousand feet, it can't run through the mountains, so it gets forced up over the top,\" says veteran Bay Area meteorologist Jan Null. \"That process lifts that air up, and our better precipitation-producing clouds are those that have stronger vertical motions. So you get vertical motion, you get more air rising up, you get more precipitation out of it. On the east side, then you get sinking air, which is detrimental to the formation of precipitation.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neil Lareau, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Nevada, Reno, says the orientation of the mountains and ridges in the Bay Area — they generally face southwest — is also important in squeezing out more rainfall from storm winds blowing from that direction. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The southwest-facing mountains \"are lifting that really moist layer of marine air ... and they're adding a whole bunch of water to clouds at a low level as the air runs up the mountain slopes,\" Lareau says. \"Technically, this is called a warm-rain process — you can picture it as really, really intense drizzle that gets added to the storm system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since rain will start much sooner in such orographically favored areas, he says, \"those places get a huge amount of rain, both in terms of intensity and duration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NWSBayArea/status/982489479125585920\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]T[/dropcap]hese effects — enhanced orographic rainfall and corresponding rain shadows — can lead to surprisingly dramatic differences in rainfall over short distances. Bay Area meteorologist Jan Null points out in his narrative \u003ca href=\"https://www.ggweather.com/sf/narrative.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">summary of San Francisco's climate\u003c/a> that the city's average annual rainfall varies from more than 22 inches in the hills in south-central neighborhoods to 18 inches in the city's northeastern corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the best-known example of a local contrast between a wet site and a nearby dry site is in the South Bay. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At San Jose airport, you get 15 inches of rain a year,\" Null says. \"You get up around the Ben Lomond area in the Santa Cruz Mountains, you get around 60 inches. That's a 4-to-1 ratio in about 15 miles as the crow flies.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar, if less startling differences, can be found throughout the region. Half Moon Bay, on the San Mateo coast, gets about 29 inches of rain a year; Palo Alto, 15 miles to the southeast, and across ridges that rise to more than 2,000 feet, gets about 16 inches. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lareau notes that a couple of other factors explain the tendency for more rain to fall in the northern half of the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is called \"terrain channeling and convergence,\" in which southerly winds blowing from the Santa Clara Valley and up the bay meet a moist flow of air flowing through the Golden Gate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This can lead to an enhancement of precipitation where those two air streams run together,\" Lareau says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also points to the Bay Area's location relative to the winter jet stream — a sort of high-altitude blast of air that plays a central role in steering and enhancing storms and plumes of moisture arriving from the Pacific. The jet often takes aim at our part of the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Bay Area is remarkably at this dividing point — the South Bay versus the North Bay, there are many more hours of precipitation once you move up into Marin and locations to the north than there are to the south. And really, that dividing line is just about San Francisco,\" Lareau says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the region's rainiest spots — in the hills and ridges of the Russian River watershed in northern Sonoma County — owe their reputations mostly to orographic influences. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cazadero, a tiny community north of the river and about 10 miles inland from the coast, was once dubbed by no less than the Los Angeles Times the \"\u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1998/feb/26/news/mn-23285\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">state's wettest town\u003c/a>.\" It's a mess finding up-to-date climate data for the area, but according to one fragmentary record from the Western Regional Climate Center, Cazadero and environs records average rainfall in the 75- to 80-inch range.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1937679/proposed-scale-for-atmospheric-river-storms-runs-from-beneficial-to-hazardous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">West Coast Storms Get Some Respect With New Scale\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1937679/proposed-scale-for-atmospheric-river-storms-runs-from-beneficial-to-hazardous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2019/02/RS8626_467299859-1020x668.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The storms known as 'atmospheric rivers' can be highly beneficial to California's water supply.

Rising air cools, and the cooling causes water vapor in the air to condense. \u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"singleTwitterStatus","attributes":{"named":{"id":"827669195877908481"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\n\u003cp>When moisture-laden air is driven across coastal terrain by vigorous winter storm winds, that process of orographic lifting leads to significantly higher amounts of rainfall over the mountains and hills. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, areas to the east of the high terrain are in \"rain shadows\" that receive dramatically lower amounts of precipitation than sites in or to the west of the mountains. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What happens with orographics ... that air flow that's below two or three thousand feet, or in the case of San Francisco below a thousand feet, it can't run through the mountains, so it gets forced up over the top,\" says veteran Bay Area meteorologist Jan Null. \"That process lifts that air up, and our better precipitation-producing clouds are those that have stronger vertical motions. So you get vertical motion, you get more air rising up, you get more precipitation out of it. On the east side, then you get sinking air, which is detrimental to the formation of precipitation.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neil Lareau, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Nevada, Reno, says the orientation of the mountains and ridges in the Bay Area — they generally face southwest — is also important in squeezing out more rainfall from storm winds blowing from that direction. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The southwest-facing mountains \"are lifting that really moist layer of marine air ... and they're adding a whole bunch of water to clouds at a low level as the air runs up the mountain slopes,\" Lareau says. \"Technically, this is called a warm-rain process — you can picture it as really, really intense drizzle that gets added to the storm system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since rain will start much sooner in such orographically favored areas, he says, \"those places get a huge amount of rain, both in terms of intensity and duration.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"singleTwitterStatus","attributes":{"named":{"id":"982489479125585920"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">T\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>hese effects — enhanced orographic rainfall and corresponding rain shadows — can lead to surprisingly dramatic differences in rainfall over short distances. Bay Area meteorologist Jan Null points out in his narrative \u003ca href=\"https://www.ggweather.com/sf/narrative.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">summary of San Francisco's climate\u003c/a> that the city's average annual rainfall varies from more than 22 inches in the hills in south-central neighborhoods to 18 inches in the city's northeastern corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the best-known example of a local contrast between a wet site and a nearby dry site is in the South Bay. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At San Jose airport, you get 15 inches of rain a year,\" Null says. \"You get up around the Ben Lomond area in the Santa Cruz Mountains, you get around 60 inches. That's a 4-to-1 ratio in about 15 miles as the crow flies.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar, if less startling differences, can be found throughout the region. Half Moon Bay, on the San Mateo coast, gets about 29 inches of rain a year; Palo Alto, 15 miles to the southeast, and across ridges that rise to more than 2,000 feet, gets about 16 inches. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lareau notes that a couple of other factors explain the tendency for more rain to fall in the northern half of the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is called \"terrain channeling and convergence,\" in which southerly winds blowing from the Santa Clara Valley and up the bay meet a moist flow of air flowing through the Golden Gate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This can lead to an enhancement of precipitation where those two air streams run together,\" Lareau says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also points to the Bay Area's location relative to the winter jet stream — a sort of high-altitude blast of air that plays a central role in steering and enhancing storms and plumes of moisture arriving from the Pacific. The jet often takes aim at our part of the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Bay Area is remarkably at this dividing point — the South Bay versus the North Bay, there are many more hours of precipitation once you move up into Marin and locations to the north than there are to the south. And really, that dividing line is just about San Francisco,\" Lareau says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the region's rainiest spots — in the hills and ridges of the Russian River watershed in northern Sonoma County — owe their reputations mostly to orographic influences. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cazadero, a tiny community north of the river and about 10 miles inland from the coast, was once dubbed by no less than the Los Angeles Times the \"\u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1998/feb/26/news/mn-23285\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">state's wettest town\u003c/a>.\" It's a mess finding up-to-date climate data for the area, but according to one fragmentary record from the Western Regional Climate Center, Cazadero and environs records average rainfall in the 75- to 80-inch range.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1937679/proposed-scale-for-atmospheric-river-storms-runs-from-beneficial-to-hazardous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">West Coast Storms Get Some Respect With New Scale\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1937679/proposed-scale-for-atmospheric-river-storms-runs-from-beneficial-to-hazardous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2019/02/RS8626_467299859-1020x668.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The storms known as 'atmospheric rivers' can be highly beneficial to California's water supply.
