For thousands of years Yurok, Hupa and other peoples have brought fire into the Bald Hills to keep the meadows open and to benefit wildlife populations.
For decades, Redwood National Park managers have conducted prescribed fires in the same area with similar goals. On November 13th 2019, inter-agency fire crews treated 118 acres in the "Upper Counts" unit with low intensity fire - this was the fourth time this unit had been treated since 1997.
In this 360 degree video, fire crews with drip torches walk in parallel and ignite one edge of the Upper Counts unit.
