This is absolutely wrong..
It wasn't until man cut down the medieval forest that we had wild fires. In mother nature's way we don't have low branches on trees to promote Plumbing thru the forest canopy.
Treat your self to a drive thru the redwoods, and see for your self..the big trees have scorching marks but they still support the forest canopy.
Man came along and cut the old growth, replanted and recut prior to the trees developing into what mother had in mind.
There are only 50 ac in the state of WA that haven't been logged. yes back in the late 1800s they logged the whole place. what you see in our parks now is second growth.
Only 50 acres of Washington haven't been logged?
Where'd you hear that....the Sierra Club?
There are thousands of of acres of never logged areas in Washington.
