This grant is for assessing the post-fire condition of lichen on petroglyph panels, a critical step in preserving these ancient cultural resources. Wildfires are known to destroy lichen that adhere to historical rock surfaces, a process that unfortunately accelerates the existing deterioration of the petroglyphs. The natural growth of lichen already compromises the rock surface, and its subsequent removal, often necessitated by fire damage, can further pit and harm the delicate rock face. Therefore, comprehensive assessments are urgently needed to accurately identify which specific petroglyph panels have been adversely impacted. These evaluations will determine the most appropriate treatments to mitigate the fire damage, ensuring the long-term protection and stability of these invaluable historical sites.

| Description: | Wildfire kills lichen that grow on petroglyph panels, deterioration of the petroglyphs is accelerated because the lichen has already damaged the rock surface. Removal of the lichen pits the rock face. Assessments of the post fire condition of the lichen are needed to determine which petroglyph panels require treatment and what treatments should be applied to lessen the fire damage. |
