Matt Kettmann's tribute to Santa Rosa Island online was a wonderful tribute to the land. Wish it had been in your printed version for more people to read.
I have had the opportunity to be on all eight of our Channel Islands many times over the last 60 years.
The Santa Rosa Island fire was a horrible, avoidable disaster, but now we must worry. How will non-native grasses and plants be discouraged and natives be encouraged? Hopefully not with massive disrupting activities.
