Study shows that changing how fires burn could help forests recover faster – Montana Governor Gianforte presses to extinguish all fires
The report indicates that controlled burning, forest thinning and cultural burning done by Indigenous groups could all reduce the severity of future fires and improve the odds of forest recovery. Davis says urgent action is needed to offset the environmental changes of a warming planet, but adds that not all forests are in danger of losing their potential to regenerate.
Gianforte presses to extinguish all fires in 2022 Montana wildfire briefing – “In Montana, we do not, and will not, have a ‘let it burn’ policy,”
“In Montana, we do not, and will not, have a ‘let it burn’ policy,” Gov. Greg Gianforte told representatives from about a dozen state and federal agencies present at the briefing. “We will respond immediately to fire with one primary goal, and that is to put that fire out as safely and quickly as possible. I appreciate all of your commitment to embrace that strategy along with the state.”
