"This Fire Recovery Guide was developed to help landowners wishing to apply current science and best practices to helping their land and its inhabitants recover [...] We hope that this guide will be useful -- for you to identify actions that will benefit your land and the biodiversity you steward, while also helping you avoid actions that may actually be detrimental. We hope that it will further encourage conversations about how we can live with fire in an increasingly fire-prone state, while also ensuring there is a place for the beautiful plants and incredible wildlife that make living in California so special."--Page 3.
