Gain a deeper understanding of how fire, along with water and wind, is a major element that shapes our local environment. See how wildlife—and humans—have adapted to, and coexisted with, fire for millennia, and discuss what the future of fire might look like for San Diego. All participants will receive a free wildfire resource guide.


‣ Walking distance: Less than half a mile on a gently rolling ridgeline

‣ Location: Near Poway

‣ Time: 2 hours

‣ Perfect for anyone interested in, or concerned about wildfire, especially those who live at the urban-wildland interface (WUI)

Meet Your Guide

Hi! My name is Cypress 

As a naturalist guide and science communicator, my goal is simple: connect people with nature.

So they might want to conserve it someday.

So they can lead happier, healthier lives.

So they can experience the deep satisfaction of understanding the world around us.

 

I do this through immersive tours, community events, custom experiences, and real, human conversations.

I look forward to exploring with you soon!
