"Environmental activists have worked long and hard (and successfully) to marginalize industry in this debate. They don't want us involved in finding a solution to the forest-health crisis because, let's face it, they just don't like us. But like us or not, our forests don't burn. Not like public forests do. Is it because we are better at fighting fires? Is it because our trees are inflammable? Is it that lightning never strikes our land? Are we just really, really lucky? It is, of course, none of those. "


I was wondering when somebody would mention that privately held woods don't explode in a fiery holocaust, like public lands do.
