Above is a short video report from Cari Koopman Rivers, who manages the Audubon Bobcat Ranch, just outside of Winters. The fire she is talking about is the Monticello Fire that swept over more than half of the ranch's 6,800 acres on July 4 of this year. Since then, Koopman Rivers has not only been working hard to get the property back in the business (it is a working ranch, after all), but also monitoring how the property's flora and fauna bounce back from the fire. It was amazing how quickly plants started coming back within days of the fire, particularly the native grasses.
