I am so grateful for our abundant natural parks. I hike regularly and have hiked most of the area parks.
In these areas that have been 'treated', the forest ecosystem has been decimated. A vast sea of wood chips with only a few trees left standing. Hot dry conditions with no ground vegetation left. Our forest and its habitats gone. This work is making drought and fire conditions worse.
It is heart-breaking to experience these special places after all the trees have been cut down.
