Stanford Dish closure
The Stanford Dish area will be closed from June 16 to June 30 for annual maintenance and fire mitigation work, according to Stanford University. The Dish is a trail located in the Stanford University’s Academic Reserve and is typically open from 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. during the summer.
Stanford plans to conduct tree trimming and shrub removal to mimic the effect of natural wildfires. The dish has experienced decades of fire suppression, which can lead to overgrowth and native plants dying out. Even with the trimming, Stanford plans to leave many large fallen logs and dead trees (called “snags”) as habitats for native species.
