> not sure why it has become verboten to say It's not. In California, we've been discussing forest management for at least 25 years since a series of wildfires broke out. There have been plenty of discussions about how we should be managing forests, trying to build consensus around best practices, and building the political will to implement them. It's been a maddeningly slow process. If anyone is coming into the conversation out here saying, "California has bad forest management, they need to rake the forest floors" or whatever, it shows that they're entering the conversation with at best a 1990s mindset of what modern forest management is like. Yeah, we know, that alarm has been clanging for 25+ years. Come at us with solutions, not problems, we know the problems.
