The Black Hills NF is a great example of forest mismanagement. Logging and maintenance has been at a standstill and the forest has been ravaged by pine beetles for the last decade and change due to forest overcrowding. The reality is that forests have never just grown unchecked, if we don't let sections burn then we must maintain them.

I'm sorry, but have you ever been there? I've worked backcountry biology jobs in the black hills, and there are old fire areas absolutely everywhere. USFS says they average 99 wildfires per year - that not enough for you?
