Seeking expert opinion: thinning vs prescribed burns

Almost all of us on this forum are avid users of the national forests. Some of us favor extensive logging. Some of us don't want the forest altered in any way. I understand both of those positions....

Just an opinion...I prefer the prescribed burn as fire is a natural part of the forest life cycle. Some seeds need the heat of a fire to even germinate although fire can get out of hand which is why I heard they no longer use the term controlled burn.
