Natural fires are good, human caused are not.

“I thought it was well made and I enjoy the fact that you took the position that fire is good for forest ecology, rather than the negativity that many people view it as. However I’m critical of episode 6 when you discuss then fact that poor forest management has led to this fire. First and foremost, the gorge is a national scenic area, to be treated like a Wilderness area. You can’t log, thin, or prescribe burn in it. Leave it as is. You also mentioned it was overdue to burn? Douglas fir dominated forests can go many centuries without a necessary burn. The last burn in eagle creek was the Yacolt burn in 1902 (started by kids of course). This forest potentially had many more years ahead of it, and it was started unnaturally. Forests west of the cascades work very differently than those in the east where dry forests must have fires. Fires in the west are naturally large and catastrophic, prior to European arrival. It’s about finding the balance between human civilization and wildfire.”

“Excellent podcast. Always interesting, very informative, and presented with a clear reverence for both nature and for the people who cared for this land long before Europeans came to it.”

“It’s hard to listen to. The content is great but had I not been such a big fan of REI I would have shut it off almost immediately. The degree of vocal fry makes it very hard to listen to Graham. I love his passion though and in every other way I think he did a decent job.”

“I finally started listening to this while on vacation. I was laying in my tent, on the side of a mountain, in the Peruvian Andes. The wind was blowing and nearby farmers were practicing their time old traditions of slash and burn. The air was filled with the smell of burning vegetation.
