Same here in Wyoming. When you head up into the mountains it’s obvious the forest is over grown and over saturated with beetle kill. It’s a tinderbox. Anyone with common sense could do a better job than the clowns in the USFS. My theory is their superiors want all the trees in the west to burn so we can see an up tick in CO2 (trees love CO2 in case you didn’t know that) and be able to scream gloBULL warming.

My theory is that owners of private timber land (Weyerhaeuser, for example, owns 13 million acres of private forest) don't want the competition from public forests.
