Overview of La Mesa studies

This 1994 Symposium on the La Mesa Fire reflects the efforts of the presenters and organizers to share some of the know ledge gained since 1977 about the ecological effects of the La Mesa Fire in particular, and Southwestern fire ecology in general. We are glad you came. We hope that you come away from this symposium with: 1) a greater understanding and appreciation for the varied and vital ecological role fire plays in many Southwestern ecosystems; and 2) some practical and useful information to help you manage fire in your local landscapes.
