Biologists Study Effects of Station Fire




I spent a day with USGS Federal biologists Adam Backlin and Liz Gallegos as they collected Santa Ana speckled dace fish to conduct research on the damaging effects of the giant Station Fire fire on fragile wildlife. NY Times reporter Randal Archibold and I joined the biologists on a journey on dirt roads deep into the backcountry to the upper San Gabriel River. It was a fun adventure with the added treat of being off the grid for the day, no cell service = a silent blackberry! Here is a link to Randy's story
