A spiritual and practical explanation of prescribed burns

Our forests are hurting. This illness is due to lack of respect and reverence for all that they provide both intrinsic values; food, fiber, medicine, air as well as extrinsic; beauty and awe they inspire. Yet even other forests such as the redwoods and other national parks are sick, not because of lack of inspiration but lack of understanding on the part of their current caretakers, humans.
