I figured the "leave the forest alone" herd would have been thinned a little after the devastating forest fires in Arizona that were attributed to the fact that the timber industry was not allowed into the areas to manage the forest. The amount of fuel that was provided turned what could have been a much lower impact event into devestation.
But I guess as the saying goes"...some people you just can't reach..."
