Boggs Mt. shooting range lost in fire.

[rci808]

Hello.

I am new here, and would like to be able to keep in touch about the Cal-Fire land at Boggs Mt. and the shooting range that is located there.

As you may have heard, there was devastating fire there this month that destroyed 70,000+ acres.

If anybody hears about if, and when, that park might re-open, please submit any information here in this thread.

Thank you.

You probably should wait for them to contain the fire first. It still an active fire and evaluation orders are still in effect in that area. If you show up now you maybe shot as a looter.

BOGGS CLOSED TILL FURTHER NOTICE
Dear Friends, please note that the California Dept of Forestry and Fire Prevention (CAL FIRE) has closed Boggs for the indefinite future due to post-Valley Fire hazards.

According to the forest manager, when Boggs is re-opened, tours will be conducted for the public to see what happened, what is left and what the forestry staff plan to do for rehabilitation. A lot of salvage logging and a lot of trees will need to be planted.

It will look very different and will not have the same allure for quite some time, but their goal is to have a healthy diverse forest that will be more resilient to future wildfires. There may also be educational opportunities for local schools regarding rehabilitation after a destructive wildfire, and with assistance from children, youth, and the greater community to help replant some of the forest.

Thank you for the input, Gentlemen.

Hopefully they consider hosting the shooting range again in the future. It was a really nice place to spend the day.
