Recently found a guy locally that has made it his mission to get the the woman over forest management replaced over the severe mismanagement of the forests in my region.
I thought I was well informed. Dude has filmed other forests in the state under different leadership and showed how they are doing cutting to reduce fuel loads. And then our area where this isn't happening.
I spent a lot of time in these areas as a kid and they used to do logging and clear cutting for fire reduction. Those days are gone and the most recent fire had a non-response which allowed it to grow quickly.
It has to be infuriating. I don't own property in the forests but I wonder how much more people like him will take.

I've seen that federal land management is going back towards that kind of forest management. Not sure if that'll help your area.
