On Today’s Show:
A new study has been released, renewing conversation about the roadless rules in our National Forests and Wilderness areas.
I cover the study in its entirety.
They cover ignition rates, wildfire size relative to road proximity, the benefits of management tactics near roads, and compare all this to wilderness fires.
They even discovered there are more lightning fires near roads than in wilderness areas, but point to a detection bias.
This study has reignited debate about the roadless rule and the maintenance of forest roads across our nation.
The Senate votes to streamline wildfire relief to Nebraska and other wildfire relief efforts.
