Abstract:

Late last year the Party Rock wildfire raged thousands of acres in the Hickory Nut Gorge and led to the evacuation of Chimney Rock. In its aftermath, the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy is working to address concerns about the health of the forest and raise awareness about the effects of wildfire. A citizen science program is also being created to help gather data in affected areas.
