How many square miles of forest and how many houses have to be lost before the environmentalists can connect the dots between forest management and fewer uncontrolled forest fires?
By not clearing brush, thinning trees, and not building fire roads with a plan to quickly contain a forest fire, results in the unnecessary losses in life, in homes, wild animals, pets, and trees.
Of course Democrats NEVER see or acknowledge the flaws in their destructive policies. California has lost 500 square miles of woodland to the ravaging forest fires because of their insane environmentalism.
Just what remedies do the environmentalists have in mind? Nothing. Just let the fire burn itself out like it did 300 years ago.
.
The purpose of these fires is to drive settlers out.
Those are the dots they connected 40 years ago when the Agenda 21 burn-out maps were prepared.
.
300 years ago in California, the natives (indians) would deliberately set fires to clear out the understory.
Made traveling and hunting a lot easier.
These semi-controlled burns cleaned out the low brush and small trees, the larger, healthy trees were pretty much safe from any type of massive, crowning fire (no ladder effect).
In a lot of the older and really old trees you can see the cat faces left by these old, low intensity fires.
These burns cleared the forest floor of litter without getting hot enough to sterilize the soils.
This practice allowed grasses and edible forbes to grow and improve habitat for game animals, people, etc.
