QUOTES
- “Leave the biggest and best trees behind. Leave a forest that looks like, or maybe the trees are a little smaller because they've been overstocked, but leave a right amount of spacing and the right types of trees so now when they grow larger, the forest can withstand that wildfire.”
- “We really encourage our federal land managers to do a lot more of that (Forest Restoration Projects). And we try to understand that by incentivizing or asking for that product, we are now restoring more acres of our forests.”
