Those companies are still at it though. We're northern Dauphin. Companies make off the wall, I guess attractive $ offers to private land owners. Our few acres border TWO larger land owners- both tend to cave.

It looks like a war out here sometimes, just shattered landscape devoid of wildlife and prime tinder for the next wildfire.

This stuff isn't quite over.

Wildfires are actually good. It's the houses in the way that are an issue.

They can be. When the result of left-over timber and various organic debris left by indiscriminate logging it's a different story.

How is it different? A tornado can come through and drop trees as well. Disease can wipe out trees as well. Fire ban wipe out invasives and some seeds need fire to germinate. Native trees can handle fire as well.

Fire is healthy which keeps the fuel load down. This logging may concentrate the fuel but the remedy is still fire.
