Summary
Seven fires burned roughly 9,200 acres of RCA and MSHCP conserved lands in 2026, including big hits at the San Jacinto Wildlife Area and Norton Younglove Reserve. A prescribed burn done in June acted as a fuel break during the Shore Fire — proof proactive work pays off. Staff are repairing dozer lines and fences and watching for invasive plants in burn scars.
