Cooperative Extension professor Matteo Garbelotto has discovered an aggressive new form of Sudden Oak Death. “We caught it pretty early, so now is the time to do something about it,” he told @itsmagalig. “We can’t get rid of it, but we can slow it down.”

It's been over four years since the CZU fire burned through Big Basin. The Six Fifty editor @juliabrown514 and I did a deep dive into how the state park (and others nearby) are recovering from the blaze. @sixfifty_says @paloaltoweekly @AlmanacNews https://t.co/Bifh0ROfS7
