Contrasting Burned Understory and Healthy Overstory

Contrasting Burned Understory and Healthy Overstory

This picture was taken at Chinsegut Wildlife and Environmental Area and shows the contrast between a burned understory and a healthy overstory. The fire that rolled through the understory was likely a controlled burned which was ignited to prevent more serious, uncontrollable fires from spreading.
