No single article can cover all of the aspects of forest management. Debate over harvesting timber in giant sequoia groves of Sequoia National Forest (and later Giant Sequoia National Monument) raged for decades, but is not allowed by the management plan developed in accordance with the presidential proclamation. Some critics think thinning is the same as logging. The situation is a little different on some other giant sequoia lands. And yes, pile burning releases CO2. So many issues related to giant sequoias are very complex – which gives me lots to write about! Thanks for reading!
This is definitely a misunderstood topic...nature has its cycles of churn and burn, and we need to help this process along, not hinder it. Thanks for the education Claudia!
Why is it harvesting and thinning are never, ever mentioned as reducing fire storms? Why is pile burning not a CO-2 release and when does it become excessive? You can’t have one way all the way! Howard.
