A lot of those lands are federal, not state.

Yes, a lot is federal. But it is state regulations that restrict the federal land managers from the doing the necessary controlled burning. It is blatantly unconsitutional but the state air quality laws disallow landowners, including the feds, from burning when it is low mixing weather. That was the case in the spring when many controlled burns should have been started.
