Wait, what?

The ecosystem in my area evolved with an environment of periodic wildfires. These fires controlled the cedar trees and regenerated the grasses. When the whites came, displaced the indians, killed all the Bison and Antelope, fenced the world and put out the fires a degradation of the land started to happen. Things got real bad in the 50's when a couple guys went around and planted cedar trees. Two methods of control, sawing which you have seen, and prescribed range burning, which you haven't and we'll be doing starting in about a month.

We have an organization with a strong presence in Kkkalifornia/Nevada called the Sierra Club

They lobbied hard to ban the clearance of any underbrush or dead foliage by forestry services on the grounds that it disrupts wildlife. Normally if nature were left to her own devices this would burn away somewhat harmlessly. But because the forestry services aren't allowed to clear it out, AND the smallish burns are extinguished, when forest fires do really get going, and become unmanageable by FD's, there is so much fuel down at the bases of the trees that the flames lick all the way up to the treetops and huge areas of forest are completely destroyed. You're left with tall spikes of black wood and black/gray ash on the ground as far as the eye can see.
