I wonder if they will allow loggers to come in and remove the burned out trees?............

I wonder if they will allow loggers to come in and remove the burned out trees? When I last visited Yosemite in 2005, there were huge brush piles near the side of the roads everywhere. They'd apparently been gathered from the forests by crews, and were waiting to be hauled off.

NO! I believe the dead, burned out trees are prime nesting for cross-eyed owls.

The burned out trees ARE prime nesting areas for TERMITES................

What you wanna bet they were still there and ADDED ‘fuel to the fire’............
To: Red Badger
the basic cause of the fire’s spread is NOT a drought.
the basic cause of the fire’s spread is too much fuel ( dead trees and such ).

What you wanna bet they were still there and ADDED fuel to the fire I'll bet they weren't. When I saw it, it was an active operation.

I flew over it yesterday. It's nasty big.
So when the carpet of pine seedlings and manzanita sprout from the ashes and it burns again, how many cycles do we need before the greenies start to realize that they aren't going to get their climax forest this way?
I know, rhetorical question.
For reference as to how we got here, please consult this thread.

Mono to Walker Lake (center to center) distance is about 50 miles.
In the Reno Tahoe area, we’ve been breathing the fine old-growth stink since last week (with a break last evening when the wind shifted for a while).

But were they government workers (I know it’s and oxymoron) or were they private company contractors?.............

I wonder if they will allow loggers to come in and remove the burned out trees?............There was a compost / mulch business that started just east of the Bastrop fires the other year. Several mounds of ground up wood "started on fire" last week. Eco terrorists suspected.
