Morgan Monaco, president of the Prospect Park Alliance, emphasized the importance of forest layers: "These three things work in unison to make a healthy forest, and unfortunately, we lost a lot of our ground cover and a lot of our mid story."
Discussing recovery efforts, Monaco stated, "The first step toward recovery in the Ravine will be clearing out the burned debris, stabilizing the area with wooden steps and soil fabric."
Monaco highlighted the long-term nature of recovery: "It will take many seasons before the area is back to its pre-fire self, and we want a mix of species for diversity."
Monaco remarked on the overall impact: "The damage includes burning to some of our older, more mature trees, and all of our forest's ground cover, but it could have been a lot worse."
