Here is the difference between forest management and logging.
Big Bear had beetle infestations and trees had to be harvested. Locals were edged and dead trees had to be felled and cut into pieces either for woodworking or fire logs.
In a fire in Olympic peninsula, the logging unit engaged said selectively harvesting won’t be profitable. So they are allowed clear cutting to include living trees and those that impede their access. Results, massive landslide and contaminated stream and destroyed watersheds.
No that is forest mis-management.
And the logging had nothing to do with the fire.
