Seems the problem is in Historically removing the large fire resistant

clear-cutting. I remember large sections in the Colorado front range that
were
clearcut in the 50's and 60's. Then in the clearcut there were 300-400 +
small
trees growing in the clearcut areas. Never thinned out no doubt. The
shallow
analysis you gave is indeed the wave of the future!

A shallow analysis is the best you can do unless you specifically target
a site and work up a management plan. Any generalization about forest
management is, by necessity, vague and inaccurate. There were millions
of acres of overcrowded and dead forests in the west long before the
first logger's axe appeared.


I thought the Indians kept it well burned???????
