Between The Feds, corporate ownership and private ownership, the state of California owns approximately 1% of the forest in the state.
What about raking the forests, AKA underbrushing? And what about prescribed, controlled burns when weather conditions are favorable? Why doesn't CA manage its forests the way other states do?
