Doing that is part of the problem, as pointed out in the article.
We harvest from those forests currently — the problem is we harvest the big healthy trees because their wood is the most desirable. They're also the most resistant to burning.
The smaller, shade-tolerant trees that we leave behind are both less commercially valuable and more vulnerable to fire.
