After a fire destroys the land, under very specific conditions, something rare happens. Seeds lay dormant for generations waiting to be shocked into growing by fire. Once the seeds are activated, millions of wildflowers sprout and create a massive, diverse explosion of flowers: a Super Bloom.
Not only do wildflowers bring life back to land devastated by destruction, they transform it to be more vibrant and beautiful. The roots of wildflowers reach deep into the ground, forming healthy soil that will sustain life for generations. This year, the conditions are right. After years of crisis, young Californians are ready to join the fight for justice, and bloom into the movement we need to thrive.
