Immediate and Long-Term Impacts

The photos below show the impacts of recent wildfire to the Wolf Creek Watershed near the community of Spring Valley in Clearlake Oaks, CA. The photos were taken on August 27, 2018, just weeks after the Pawnee Fire and Ranch Fire burned the entire watershed with high intensity leaving little vegetation.

Looking across the Big Canyon Watershed towards the recently-cleared Boggs State Demonstration Forest, this area burned with high intensity during the Valley Fire in 2015. The photo was taken in August 2019, four years after the fire.
