"Big Basin, Home To Majestic Coast Redwoods, Is 'Gone'

California's Oldest State Park is gone.

California’s oldest state park and home to some of the most celebrated ancient coast redwood trees appears to be no more.

"We are devastated to report that Big Basin State Park, as we have known it, loved it, and cherished it for generations, is gone," Sempervirens Fund, an organization dedicated to redwoods protection, wrote in post to their website Thursday afternoon.

The CZU Lightning Fire, a combination of several fires burning over the last several days in San Mateo and Santa Cruz Counties, has "damaged the park’s headquarters, historic core and campgrounds," according to a news release from the California Department Parks and Recreation."

The above article is pretty "clickbaity": some good (and relatively widely known) news regarding the state of the redwoods:
California fires: Burned redwoods will recover soon, experts say
The man-made structures of the park can also be rebuilt, and the ecosystem will rebound. However, the long term impacts of more frequent fires is yet to be seen.

It's probably not big of a deal. It's sad the forests are gone but the ecosystem will come back, as it always does. The park will just be home to different wildlife than it was.
