So let's narrow the question -- in the areas that are not to be clear-cut, is there a reason to favor prescribed burns or thinning as a fire reduction (not prevention) technique? do understand that the west side is too wet to burn most of the year -- does that mean that the NFS uses thinning in the areas that are not clear cut? Or do they sometimes use prescribed burns?
On the wet side they don't do much, no need.
Tree farmers plant close, and allow the tress to fight fo the sun. it makes long straight logs.
over time the trees will thin them selves.
