There is another urgency here in the west, where excessive new growth of large and small trees, brush, and grass fuels the wildfires that kill peoplel and destroy hundreds of homes. Four local hams, including CQ Hall of Fame Contester K6XX, lost everything in July fires that started with a massive (and rare, for this area) lightning storm. That fire stopped just across the road from us. We've spent more than $10K clearing all of that our 8 acres of forest, leaving the old growth redwoods untouched.
