Are you serious? When do you speak to them about those issues? You are very brave. I think the dead trees should be removed, thinning done, etc. but out here, (apparently from what I've read) only about 2 - 3% of the lawsuits are from enviros, and it's typically the townspeople who don't want to do the thinning. I mean, we've had some serious fires the last few summers, and it all could have been easily prevented...

They were 'communing with nature' (necking) and were trying to proselytize about the greatness of nature and the evils of man.
