Big Basin Redwoods State Park rebuilding plans unveiled four years after massive wildfire
On Wednesday, Big Basin will take a significant step toward recovery, as the California Department of Parks and Recreation holds its first public meeting to unveil three options for rebuilding the facilities at the 18,000-acre park in the Santa Cruz Mountains. … Environmental groups who helped establish and enlarge Big Basin over the years say things generally are moving in the right direction. … “Everything from the pavement that prevents water to getting from the roots of the old-growth trees, to the buildings and fuel tanks and flammable material that goes along with it puts the resources at risk,” said Sam Hodder, president of Save the Redwoods League, an environmental group in San Francisco. “Letting visitors enjoy a more healthy forest ecosystem, not burdened with a lot of infrastructure will create a better experience and a more healthy redwood forest.”
