At least the Sierra Clubbers among us have the satisfaction of seeing trees rescued forever from the fate of profitable employment.

I have to shake my head at the needless fury of this fire..I believe i just read that brush clearing and thinning hasn't been done in 50 years in the name of "the environment".

Even so, I am amazed to learn that we have more trees now in the United States than there were when Europeans first arrived here.
