As part of Theodore Payne Foundation’s Wildfire Resilience Resource Day programming, join this free, informative class and demonstration to learn about the Botany of Fire: How California native plants have evolved in close relationship to fire. Reserve your spot.

Native plant species are able to come back following a fire, including shrubs and trees known as crown resprouters. Seeds of many native plant species are fire-responsive, meaning that they only "wake up" and sprout after a burn. In fact, some of our most spectacular wild flowers are endemic fire followers, which means that they only occur in the post-fire landscape, waiting quietly as seeds in the soil for years to reappear in massive numbers after a burn!
