In the case of Armstrong Woods historic Redwood grove here in Sonoma County, CA - currently threatended by Walbridge fire [1]: From a fuel standpoint, the entire area around the redwoods used to be managed by logging companies and private industry - they even staffed the fire towers. Since that time, private and conservation owners have bought up the land around the area, but pretty much have done nothing to manage fuels, right now that is all burning for the first time in 50+ years. The failure of those parcels to properly manage fuels on their property probably led to the threat to the redwood groves in this case. For this area in general, the NIMBY attitude has largely precluded controlled burning on the scale it used to be conducted at. 1 - https://napsg.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=6dc469279760492d802c7ba6db45ff0e&extent=-13816097.4846%2C4550240.7459%2C-13577613.9563%2C4705713.6614%2C102100 https://napsg.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?i...
