Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve, which is part of the UC Natural Reserve System  (UCNRS) and managed by UC Davis, is recovering less than a year after wildfire swept through the area, thanks to hard-working staff and volunteers. A popular local hiking area and an "outdoor laboratory" for many UC Davis students, the reserve's ongoing recovery is highlighted in a new video from UCNRS, "Springing Back From Wildfire: Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve." 

If you decide to check on Stebbins' recovery in person this summer, take note of the day's forecast and plan accordingly with hats, water or perhaps a decision to go a different day. There's no on-site shade or water available, and it gets hot up there!
