A project I am pretty proud of: We designed and managed a big wildfire hazard reduction project that helped save a priceless observatory.

Deer Creek Resources @DeerCrResources

The briefing paper for today's California State Senate wildfire oversight hearing uses one of our recent hazard reduction projects as a success story! Here is a video about a project we designed to help protect the historic observatory at Mount Hamilton. https://youtu.be/lU2oX6xZGZ4

A quick overnight to the Upper Feather River aka Westwood, Ca. My non-scientific takes: Less snow than I expected at 4k ft, melting quick on south aspects at 5k, still a boatload of snow on north slopes above 6k + poverty is rawer with dirty snow.
