George Leonard: “We are seriously concerned about the growing backlog of reforestation needs on the National Forest.”

Fire has to be a part of the fuels reduction, but I think it is important that unplanned, uncontrolled fires are not part of the solution.

Proper funding of the land management agencies, and I am particularly interested in the Forest Service, is absolutely essential if we are going to protect the natural resources of this Nation and respond to issues like climate change.
