It was a quiet, but much anticipated moment as the first steel beams were hoisted into place on the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve’s new outdoor pavilion at the visitor center, which will replace the first stage that was destroyed in the Tenaja Fire in September 2019.The heavy black beams installed by workers were even more meaningful to the more than 100 Forever Beam Builders, who each had their names painted in white on the beams. The Beam Builders raised more than $13,000 to rebuild the stage and pavilion from the ground up.Donors who helped fund the construction of the new pavilion have their names signed on beams that will be raised to cover the new stage at the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve Visit
