Through The Fire

Sometimes out of adversity comes wisdom. That was a lesson Pacific Southwest Research Station Ecologist, Eric Knapp, learned after the 2021 Antelope Fire tore through long-term research plots in northeastern California.
“It was pretty upsetting to think about those 20 years of research going up in flames,” Knapp stated. Knapp’s colleague, Forester Martin Ritchie, and other scientists initiated studies at this landscape, known as the Goosenest Adaptive Management Area in the late 1990s. At that time, white fir and incense cedar filled the site, crowding out pine trees. One of the researchers’ goals was to restore a more open pine-dominated forest, which originally graced this area a century ago.
When Knapp and fellow researchers took stock of the fire damage, they realized that the fire, unexpectedly, presented a rare opportunity to see how fuel treatments fared in real-world conditions

Nothing burns like a forest that is ran by the democrats!!! back in fall we went up to our old area where we used to camp and most of the old roads were closed down due to overgrowth and iy is now a firetrap because if you go in on a road there is no longer any other way out, it used to have many roads to get away from fires if one ever came up, we were not even able to use our old campground because it was covered with fallen branches and trees, if you were there a dead end road literally could be the dead end of anyone caught in there and the trees grew so much cell phones no longer work there on most of the mountains!!!
