Life rises from the ashes!
Nature’s resilience evident in burn area of West Fork Complex
“Miles of destruction, the land cremated; valleys pocked by scorched debris; green forests reduced to funerary pyres, black hills and mountains; and stubborn signs of life emerging from the ash.
This is what about 40 people confronted on a June tour of the year-old burn area left by the West Fork Complex. Lightning ignited the fire last summer. Eventually, a complex of three fires burned about 110,000 acres in the San Juan and Rio Grande national forests.”
