The #LosPadres NF website crashed on me and isn't coming back up, so I had to go to their social media to confirm that Yes, they are planning 3 prescribed burns today near Wheeler Gorge, Figueroa Mountain, and Memorial Park

Assuming they're actually successful at getting anything to burn, smoke will likely be visible from Ojai and surrounding #VenturaCounty regions.

I forgot to post a #spring update for the #LosPadres. at 4000' hardly anything had bloomed. Lupine plants were tiny with just a few leaves. coffee berry & yerba santa both looked rather sickly to me. I was surprised with all the rain. I think they're a victim of having a week or two of spring temps and growth followed by freezing temps & snow.

Didn't start to see monkey flower or other blooms until down around 2000'

The #ForestService has issued a forest-wide closure of the #LosPadres #NationalForest effective immediately, and that includes the #SantaBarbara #FrontCountry trails.

“The closure order states that the closure will last 60-days but we’re hopeful that it can be revised or modified on a local level as portions of the forest are surveyed, cleaned up, and repaired.”

(The Forest Service announcement threatens that “law enforcement officers will strictly enforce the closure order, which carries a penalty of $5,000 and/or six months in jail.”)

To help speed things up, consider donating to the #LPFA or the Montecito Trails Foundation.
