The 2006 season was both diverse and productive for Grand Canyon National Park’s (GRCA) Fire Ecology Program. While making 60 FMH plot visits, including 5 immediate post-burn reads, all scheduled work was completed with time available for training and contributing to the national firefighting effort. In addition, 137 CBI plots were installed within six fires at GRCA to allow assessment of burn severity. This monitoring workload marks the third busiest season in the program’s 18-year history. Beyond monitoring, the Fire Ecology Program provided strategic support to the Fire Management Program with the Fire Ecologist serving as program lead for the development of the fire management plan EIS.
