Prescribed fire as a social issue becomes automatically an ecological, political, and economic issue. Any issue that affects us socially we take to the political arena, and its final resolution will involve the costs of different avenues to resolving the issue. Unfortunately,…

In California, the percentage of wildland which is prescribed burned has been declining for many years. Fear of litigation, environmental concerns, and public perceptions seem to be the stumbling blocks. Is the reverse true: if we stop prescription burning, will we alleviate our…
