The committee on Science, Space, and Technology are collecting testimony of Federal employees fired in the past days. Please share with your colleagues and friends. The more testimony, the better we can argue against this injustice.

“Restoring fire to the landscape is a long game. Any acre burned alongside other people, learning to accept fire along the way, is progress.”
"What I saw contrasted sharply with the out-of-control nature of wildfire: Prescribed fire is the hardworking, under-appreciated sibling. It shares much of wildfire’s fundamental DNA — fuel, oxygen and heat — but reveals beauty, precision and sooty elegance." www.hcn.org/issues/57-2/...

Prescribed burning is done for many reasons and by many kinds of people. Here a landowner needed help burning a wetland for ecological purposes; he got help from neighbors incl. ranchers, youth groups, and local firefighters. Lots of fun + a good learning experience for many!

The difference a fire makes. The first is a two year old prescribed burn up in French Meadows. The second is looking the opposite direction across the control line 10ft away. Not only is it beautiful, but is amazing insect and deer habitat.
