My name is Jessica Pickell and I am a third year Geography student at SFU. This project was produced for Geography 355, Technical Issues in Geographic Information Systems, at Simon Fraser University, BC. It was based on the California Wildfires of 2003, specifically those in San Diego County. This will be described in more detail on the following pages.

The goal of this project was to prioritize reforestation areas as a result of these fires in San Diego County of California. This is as a result of hte 2003 California Wildfires. Although the wild fires have now been contained, the Cedar fire alone caused 14 deaths and 113 injuries. thousands of homes were destroyed, as well as commerical and other builidings. The Cedar fire covered 273,246 acres.
