This user is a student editor in Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/University_of_Oregon/Fire_and_Natural_Disturbances_(Fall_2017).

2003 Canoe Fire

I'm interested in adding a section to the existing article on Humboldt Redwoods State Park. The 2003 canoe fire which burned about 13 thousand acres of the park is significant for redwood ecologists: it's one of the first significant fires to burn old growth redwood since fire suppression oriented management and policy began in the 1930s. The 2007 US Service report (pdf link below) would be a good source for this section.
