I am from Timbertown Washington. I am for managed forests and I doubt that once stuff has been allowed to pile up as underbrush that it is all that safe to do controlled burns...there will have to be a lot of just plain old clearing and brush removal and thinning. That doesn't mean cutting down the biggest and best trees..although it does before they die. I am for giving loggers jobs in forest management. I believe that houses in danger areas should be made out of cement block or stone or whatever but not anything burnable and certainly no shake roofs. I want more and more houses built out of rock of some sort and I want paper made out of hemp and trees saved for furniture, lutes etc. I also think we should have reforestation of our cities and suburbs with a lot of it going to fruit trees to actually feed people. The biggest problem is overpopulation and hopefully that is being realized and reversed in many places. I also believe in cows, sheep, goats etc. eating a lot of this underbrush..saw cows going at it today in a thick brushy area..eating the leaves off trees..never saw them do that....then turn the brush into meat, milk, cheese...it all fits together. We don't need to live on soybeans. We can clean up messes and we can regrow trees and we can probably most of us get by with less. mg
