    You’re spot on, and forestry science backs you up!

    Mother nature took care of are forests forever. Now are federal government is destroying them by putting out natural forest fires and then over planting after a fire. This has made are forests overgrown and clogged with dead debris. Overgrown forests cause drought and makes trees defenseless against Bark Beatles. Fires thin out the areas that are to thick and burn debis. This makes the forest clean and healthy. It also puts much needed nitrogen in the soil. The forests now are so thick that when we do have a fire the flames go up into the top of the trees. This burns up the entire forest instead of thinning it and cleaning up debris Obama and our government put the blame on global warming when in fact they are to blame.
