Real solutions?
✔️ Strengthening homes and community infrastructure
✔️ Investing in community preparedness
✔️ Protecting forests from logging and coexisting with the natural role of fire in our forest ecosystems

It's time to shift the narrative➡️from gutting forest protections to protecting communities

❗END RESULT - A hotter, drier forest which will not buffer winds, allowing fires to spread faster and often more severely toward our #communities.

Logging:
1️⃣ Removes large, fire-resistant trees that help keep the forest microclimate cool and moist
2️⃣ Leaves behind dry debris or "slash"--needles, small branches and bark--while inviting invasive grasses that can easily ignite
3️⃣ Alters forest structure by removing natural windbreaks (think trees)
