Rain is on the way. We’ve been warned about a huge storm that will hit over the weekend. The National Forest people have been mulching the hillsides. The hope is it will at least slow erosion and runoff. I talked to a couple of National Forest rangers yesterday and it’s not seed.
In the past they have seeded burned areas with rye grass which, being non-native, has caused more long term problems (in the form of a greater fire threat) than the short term ones it solved. So they’re mulching the hillsides instead. We should get a good test of how that works this weekend.
