Wildfires, Forgotten Lessons, and the Price of Neglect
Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
Rep. John Ley argues that Washington's catastrophic wildfire seasons are not inevitable — they are the result of decades of failed forest policy. With more than 631,000 acres burned in 2026 and 400 million acres nationally in need of thinning, Ley makes the case for prescribed burns, buffer zones, and restored timber harvesting. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-wildfires-forgotten-lessons-and-the-price-of-neglect/ #Wildfires #ForestManagement #WashingtonState #Opinion #ClarkCountyToday #PrescribedBurns #TimberHarvesting #18thDistrict #FirePolicy #PublicSafety
