Mike Palladini from @NapaLandTrust lost trail infrastructure-signage, maps, wooden stairs need to ensure people will be safe before opening reserves #OSCFires

"As recently as just last week, we still had burning roots and tree stumps flaring up." Visitor safety has been a top concern at the preserves. @NapaLandTrust #OSCFires
