There’s not an awful lot I admire about modern Europeans. But they are very good about managing their forests. I served in Germany in the 60s as a signal officer. Spent much time in German forests. Very little debris and undergrowth. Dead trees and vegetation are removed promptly. Some of it even finds its way into lumber yards because the trees have not had an opportunity to decay. My son lived in Switzerland for about five years. Very clean forests.
It is, after all, common sense. Remove the material that feeds forest fires and there won’t be forest fires. I’ve never understood why Americans have difficulty with that very simple concept. In recent years Envirowachos certainly have played their usual destructive part. But we ignored our forests long before they came along.
Do they have millions of acres of forest in inacessable wilderness in Germany.
