Forest management by consensus. The management plans are reviewed by citizen groups comprised of environmentalist, business leaders, and other interested parties. If there are objections to certain aspects of the plans, lawsuits are filed by the objecting parties...typically environmentalist. The end results is a half assed attempt at forest management. Half assed attempts equal very hot fires with plenty of fuel to burn. Thanks to the Sierra Club and other do-gooders.
You are correct.
Sierra Club started this group of fires when they got their charter years go.
EVERY FOOL that gives even 10 cents to Sierra Club helps to cause these fires.
