There are like specific requirements here in Colorado. voice-verified

And I took a native plant class and one of the guys was telling me there are entire courses and like tutorials on which types of vegetation to plant close to your house to create the these like different buffer zones. voice-verified

And one of the things he said is that more terpenes and the stuff growing around your house. voice-verified

Uh means more flammability, which that PJ, the pinion juniper stuff. voice-verified

Uh tends to have a little bit more terpene, is that right? voice-verified

Um, and I would be remiss if I didn't ask you this while I had you. voice-verified

beetle kill and spruce bud worm and all of these infestations that we're starting to see proliferate a little bit more here in the west. voice-verified

Um not really an issue on the east coast yet. voice-verified

How is that playing into all of these fire regimes? voice-verified

That's counterintuitive. voice-verified

Wow. voice-verified

I gotta create that new like synapses connection in my brain now. voice-verified

I was talking to um my forester whenever I worked for the Forest Service in Walton, Colorado. voice-verified

And they were saying that whenever you see beetle kill trees, when the needles have turned red, that is a roughly two year old dead tree. voice-verified

So after that, you start to see a lot more of that needle and that limb drop. voice-verified

And that's when you would get those those more understory fires. voice-verified

Say that five times fast. voice-verified

Interesting. voice-verified

Okay. voice-verified

So that gives me some hope. voice-verified
