About a week late and a dozen threads behind with that canned soundbite.If We Rake The Forest, What Do We Do With The Leaves?
A. Most of California's forests are Federally managed...so that's coming from the Federal treasury
B. It's a near impossible task in terms of available machinery and manpower
I don't think they mean raking leaves. That would actually screw things up--the rotting leaves are what build up soil or something, and many many important critters live in and under them. I think it's just trying to keep the undergrowth from growing that they're talking about. Actually, if you leave a forest alone for long enough, Mother Nature takes care of that herself, but it takes a long, long time. It actually discourages wildlife who live on the low lying leaves of the young growth. I've been a piece of pine forest that has been left alone/protected for a couple hundred years and it's amazingly free of scrub and what we call "willy wags." Flat, pretty much empty forest floor, with nothing growing on it except a few wildflowers, and of course, the towering trees. I think it's the lack of sunlight that does it, but I can't remember.If We Rake The Forest, What Do We Do With The Leaves?

The fires we just had were wildfires in chaparral area, not forests.A. Most of the CA Forest is not Federal.If We Rake The Forest, What Do We Do With The Leaves?

They DON'T mean raking leaves. I used that as a thread title because of Trump's stupid claim.I don't think they mean raking leaves.

Anyway, to let a forest alone that long is pretty much impossible anymore. Someone will cut it. It's like holding back the tide, though, to keep a young/growing forest free of undergrowth.
I spent over 5 decades in California. Most of it in rural areas. Until about 10-15 years ago the State and local governments conducted control burns and maintained fire breaks. That way when a fire started it ran out of fuel quickly.The fires we just had were wildfires in chaparral area, not forests.
your ignorance is noted dumbass
The statement suggests that California's forest-management problems are at fault. But the majority of California's forests are federally held. Of the state's 33 million acres of forest, federal agencies, including the Forest Service and the Interior Department, own and manage 57 percent.Nov 12, 2018
Trump’s Misleading Claims About California’s Fire ‘Mismanagement’
You keep harping on the forest area....what does "chaparral fire" make comprehension so difficult for you?I spent over 5 decades in California. Most of it in rural areas.

In addition, the forest areas were logged in strategic methods to also control fuel.
Now the money is spent on illegals and a train to nowhere.
Look, I’ve been thru half a dozen Calif wildfires, I don’t need your crap.

--------------------------------------------------------- with out looking at the link the answer to your question is that you would MULCH the leaves . Thats what i do , rake the yard or a portion on my 10 acres of maple into a pile and then let the leaves ROT , or put them into the raised beds in my garden or put the leaves around plants for the winter . Now with huge TONS of leaves , sticks and other forest debris raked out of forests on a huge scale you would reduce them to chips and small organic material and put in piles ready to be SOLD to gardners eirther by the truck load or in Bags of various sizes Lesh .If We Rake The Forest, What Do We Do With The Leaves?
A. Most of California's forests are Federally managed...so that's coming from the Federal treasury
B. It's a near impossible task in terms of available machinery and manpower
