Youโve never heard of fire lines to help fight forest fires in conjunction with planting trees for clear-cut forest? Forests regenerate themselves after disastrous fires. Planting trees is needed after clear- cutting a forest. But the worst is yet to come with climate changes.
Yes, fire breaks are a good tool to fight an active forest fire.
Forests can use a little help after the largest fires in recorded history happened. Forests can't regenerate properly when that happens.
It sounds like they are taking a page out of the Irvings book.
The trees haven't even been given a chance to grow and people (the article doesn't mention experts only industry and municipalities) want to cut them down. No where is there a mention of best practices.
