- kaikai 6y agoIt’s a thing, but it’s not being done on a large enough scale. It’s and incredibly difficult, decade long process to get plans approved on public lands. Private lands are much easier but still need extensive permitting through fire and air quality officials. We’re just starting to acknowledge the former extent of cultural burning in California, and the current need for fire on the landscape. It’s gotten easier to get the general public on board over the last couple years, and hopefully that trend continues!
