Fund Launched for Monte Fire Response
6/20/2025
Nearly 40% or 233+ acres of our El Cajon Mtn. (El Cap) Preserve is within the Monte Fire burn area. As seen in this photo the fire raced up the mountain.
The burn area includes where we store tools and equipment for the Preserve's wildlife research and stewardship programs. Golden eagles, Orcutt's brodiaea, Lakeside ceanothus and other threatened or protected species are included in our research. The remoteness and topography requires us to store equipment rather than hiking or helicoptering it in when needed. This was in the area that burned.
Please consider making a gift so this work may continue. Any amount is appreciated. Thanks!
We have set a goal of raising $2800 to replace these items.
