I wonder if this sentiment applies to the fires in Northern California this seasons. Have northern California forests and rural areas been “under managed” as to preventing fires?

Some one had to pull some ones head out of their a$$. A million acres burned in just Montana this year alone!

My understanding (and I may be very wrong) is that whenever logging is discussed as a way to manage the forests, the loggers demand that it be clearcutting.
The claim is that culling trees selectively is too expensive and even dangerous. They also make claims of how wonderful clearcutting is for the land.
But this is a no go for the average voter so instead nothing gets done.

The Indians used to maintain a hands
on treatment of the forest in both Americas. They burnt the forest annually. That kept the woodlands largely clear of underbrush and promoted bison and other game animals. It was a different sort of animal husbandry from the modern variety. The first colonists reported that you could march an army through the forest.

Small forest fires are a natural part of the ecology.
Preventing all fires and allowing flammable biomass to accumulate to catastrophic proportions is not.

I've always contended that these three piece suit overseers of such environazi businesses were getting massive infusions of cash from mysterious donors. Then, when the forest dept was about to do something common sense with the secondary undergrowth, etc, the environazis would file nuisance lawsuits in federal courts, federal courts ruled by similarly radical left wing enemies of common sense.
We've been repeatedly beaten even before we started. I can't see any short term end to that. California's votes are majority commie/fag/all things liberal. And that demographic is, pardon the amateur analysis, clinically and totally insane.
And the elections they can't legitimately win, they will steal. Hence the crimigrants moonbeam brown is desperate to protect.

I spent some time in Colorado and northern California this summer. I could not believe the number of beetle-killed trees I saw. Thousands of dead and dry trees, waiting for a spark. They were everywhere and in many areas that looked to me to be totally inaccessible to anything less than a helicopter, so I don’t know how the threat can be cost-effectively removed.
