[QUOTE="Paint It Purple, post: 2904534, member: 67408"] Was up in South Dakota at Custer State Park last year and saw the scars left by a massive wild fire driven by 60-80 mph winds. Custer is not your usual small state park. It is on the scale of a national park in terms of acreage. The park rangers explained that while the fire’s destruction was massive, it was really the best thing to happen and may have actually saved the park. Years of state and federal forest and fire policy had allowed much of the wildlife and water friendly ecosystem to be gobbled up by brush and tree growth. Creeks stopped flowing, grasses died and wildlife suffered. Bad policies that put fires out instead of letting nature do it’s thing, coupled with a ban on timber and brush removal that were finally stopped. When the big fire came the new policy just let it burn. Hard to watch, but in the end it was for the best. granted the park doesn’t contain people’s homes. [/QUOTE]
