To be blunt, this is CAs own fault.
I remember a couple of decades ago people were talking about how they weren't allowed to clear or perform controlled burns on the dead underbrush. People can think they are doing good but are actually being shortsighted, causing more problems than they fix.
- ngokevin 6y agoCA owns 3% of its forest lands.
- bpodgursky 6y agoCA can put restrictions on land owned by individuals. What's your point?
- mattnewton 6y agoNot who you are responding to, but can they put restrictions on land under the federal BLM? My understanding is that the feds manage about 58% of California’s forestland, including much of what is on fire right now. It’s a mess; the state and local government should do more, but also the feds, people should stop building up so much in the woods, etc. lots of blame in a complicated situation with no easy answers. https://www.gov.ca.gov/2020/08/13/california-u-s-forest-service-establish-shared-long-term-strategy-to-manage-forests-and-rangelands/ https://www.gov.ca.gov/2020/08/13/california-u-s-forest-serv...
