For our first blog post ever I want to show you the stark difference I photographed in Solano County, CA. On the left is a coastal site with grazing excluded for decades, resulting in dense growth of non-native herbaceous plants by summer and encroachment of coyotebrush and conifers into former grassland, thus greatly increased fire hazard.
