Abstract
- The article reports on the U.S. Forest Service's decision to remove about 40 percent of tree and plant-life in selected areas in California to reduce the severity of wildfires and put extra water in reservoirs. Topics discussed include the approval of a bill that facilitates thinning watersheds in the state, the opposition of environmentalists against tree cutting for any reason, and the cost effectiveness of clearing trees with fire.
