California after the Woolsey Fire - Faith Wangermann

Jill Cowan reports in an article published by the New York Times on May 6, 2019 on the condition of California six months after the Woolsey fire. The fire scorched many outdoor areas, like hiking trails and historic sites, but due to the rainy winter, the land has bounced back. New growth has emerged in the places scarred by the fire. Despite being less fatal than the Camp fires, the Woolsey fire still devastated the landscape. The return of life to the scorched areas is reminiscent of the Earth after the ice age, completely barren at first, but eventually life came back.
