I think they’re doing a great thing.

My area has seen some wildfire smoke season near the end of summer. It never happened when I was a kid. Now every summer there’s wildfire smoke for several days or several weeks.

The climate appears to be changing and heavily forested areas of midwest US and canada are on fire every summer.

Planting trees could be great for the environment, but without the moisture it could become a tinderbox for wildfires.

How do you know whether that is caused by climate change or worse management of forests.

I suspect many governments are spending less on prevention because they can blame the consequences on climate change - whereas if climate change is increasing the risk they should be spending more on reducing it.

Trees also change the climate locally so might be part of the solution for that too.

Wildfires are only a problem for the matchboxes filled with trinkets we build adjacent to the pretty trees and live in - the forest likes the cleansing.
