Fire is an interesting animal because voice-verified

It's super devastating in the moment whenever you're on the trails. voice-verified

But when you when you step back out of your own experience to look at it from an ecological level, it it's important and it's it's been important since time immemorial because indigenous peoples, they used fires not only to drive out game whenever they were hunting, but also as like a form of forest management. voice-verified

How how familiar are you with with T E K and indigenous use of fire? voice-verified

Because I feel like that's kind of a cool thing to discuss. voice-verified

Yeah, and I've had to come to grips with this as well because I hate it whenever I see adult trees being cut down. voice-verified

But voice-verified

Thinning of forests is a viable management tool to use when trying to mitigate these big bad fires. voice-verified

So that is typically when you would see prescribed burns in areas or burn pile being burned. voice-verified

So they'll they'll accumulate all these f these fuels in the summer, which horrible idea. voice-verified

To ignite them in the summer because you know, fire season, but they do it in the winter. voice-verified

So these are all like voice-verified

good management tools. voice-verified

So when you see these things happening, and whenever I moved here six years ago, my gut reaction was, why are you touching the forest? voice-verified
