The Woolsey fire has devastated 100,000 acres, including 88 percent of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. It’s a vast park where lots of animals live, and where hikers, bird-watchers, and nature enthusiasts love to visit. Just two years ago, park service employees completed an extensive system of hiking trails -- half a century’s worth of work. On Friday, biologists were allowed in to survey the damage.
