Why is it necessary to reforest at Cuyamaca Rancho State Park?
The conifer forests in San Diego County are unique, and those destroyed in wildfires at Cuyamaca Rancho State Parks have not regenerated. To maintain biological diversity in San Diego, it is necessary to reforest. The new growth in damaged acreage of the Chino Hills State Park has been mainly flashy-fuel, non-native plants that are not fire resistant. A key component of fire prevention is to restore burnt areas with fire resistant native trees and plants.
