Is this not all the roads. Idk why it would have the roads north of the 530 some one which are not driveable and not have NF -23 , NF 49, or NF 29 which goes way the hell up Suattle River.

When looking at historical wildfire data for westside cascades wildfire where it says something like 1200 since the last fire/disturbance how much salt would you take those dates and spacial data? Seems like we make alot specific choices based on a incomplete data set.

Also what are your thoughts on prescribed fire and thinning on "wet" side forests?

Thinking about https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1112839109#sec-4

From there conclusion it does not seem like ether thinning or prescribed fire will be effective in reducing the risk of catastrophic but relatively infrequent wildfires. Does that line up with you thought?

There definitely is. In the new inflation reduction bill you can get up to 8k for it.

"IRA" meaning inflation reduction act.

Also if you do it with other energy efficiency things you can get a additional 8k with the Whole Home Energy Reduction Rebates. + if you need to upgrade you electrical panel to get the heat pump theres money in there for that too, like 4k!

For sure check it out. I think you have to get it after 2023 to get that benefit.

One last thing, you can get subsidized energy efficiency loans for this kind of work.
