Logging, Wildfires, and Forest Restoration

[ecologydoc]

Hat tip to Gene's brother, coauthor on today's NYT Opinion piece, More Logging Won't Stop Wildfires.

And another opinion on the same topic in the Denver Post on Restoring Forests the Right Way.

And check out this great article by fire historian Stephen Pyne, references my former employer, the San Carlos Apache Tribe and their New Approach to Fighting Wildfires.

OK, so fire can be a good thing. However, I did find the sentence in your last link to be just a little callous."America's fire scene is more complex than the usual media and political obsession with burned houses, dead people, and celebrity landscapes like Yosemite suggests." After all, #SpottedOwl'sLivesMatter. But a good read and thanks.
