Poor forest management is not just in the Sierras or Southern California.
At the Jan. 16 Pacific Grove City Council meeting, citizen Kevin Hanley made a plea to Councilmembers to reduce the amount of fuel load — dead dry brush, downed trees, etc. — in George Washington Park, a 20-acre, thickly wooded greenspace. Doing so, Hanley said, would reduce the chances of a fire spreading to nearby houses.
Kevin is not wrong. Here’s a few snapshots of Washington Park just feet from houses. C’mon eco freaks and tree huggers, it’s a park so treat it like one.
