Five years of restoring coastal prairies at Martin Griffin Preserve
Like the changing environment, we’re adapting our approach to conservation at Audubon Canyon Ranch. Our stewardship activities at Martin Griffin Preserve since 2018 aim to restore dwindling grasslands crucial to watershed health and ecosystem resilience by returning good fire to the land.
Join us in this look at the last five years of coastal prairie restoration at Martin Griffin Preserve to tend the nuanced needs of this fire-dependent ecosystem. Our interactive StoryMap explores a timeline of strategic experimentation and adaptive stewardship that unfolded, and how a unique prescription was designed by our prescribed fire ecologists and implemented with community partners.
