What is the status of access to the Interior now, and how might that change in coming weeks, months?
• Access to hikers, bikers and campers is only restricted in the burn area. It’s important that hikers and bikers don’t leave the road, as recovery of the fragile ecosystem could be seriously hampered. Additionally, some areas are being worked on by utility companies and by the Conservancy, stabilizing roads and trails, removing dangerous debris, restoring utility poles and other services. Fires are allowed in all campgrounds with fire rings and barbeque pits (Blackjack, Shark and Little Harbors and Parsons). • Next spring, if the Island receives sufficient rain, there will be germination of countless wildflowers and new growth.
