Buckeye Forest Council Presentation

After David Maywhoor's the thing that I struck me the most was prescribed burnings. I went to the BFC website and saw how the Shawnee forest was supposed to only get 280 acres to burn, but instead over 2,000 acres burned. This just struck me as something that needs to be way more controlled. He touched on prescribed burning and showed us pictures of what was happening to the forests after the burnings. It just looked completely barren and almost depressing. Also, he said to control the burnings they would just take a bulldozer around the perimeter of where the fire was supposed to stop and just destroyed more forest. I do not agree with the way the burn the forests at all.
