Wildfires Ravage Western States, Devastate Watersheds & Habitat #FedFail #utpol #TransferPublicLands @AmericanLandsCn Will we wait until all national forests, habitat, and watersheds are devastated for generations by failed federal policies before we act? #TransferPublicLands @AmericanLandsCn July 17, 2013 The US House of Representatives Committee on Natural Resources held hearings on the state of our national forests last week. The chart below was presented as part of the testimony, and it pretty much speaks for itself. According to the testimony, wildfires burned 9.3 million acres in 2012, and much of our national forests “are in an unhealthy and dangerous state resulting in larger and more intense wildfires.” Poor forestry management has proven to be a major contributing factor. More background on the hearings can be found by visiting the US House of Representatives Committee on Natural Resources website. Click here.
