@mhurteau.bsky.social Truly appreciate your sustained engagement with Tribes at Teakettle, starting almost ten years ago. What I saw there last month was a revelation. It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say the area’s restoration could be a turning point for the burn co-op’s development & evolution.

Likewise. We will be meeting with CWI soon to discuss next steps and hope to keep in touch with you. SSBC partners have seen a lot of trauma on the land. They’re not going to minimize or discount what happened at Teakettle but have ideas for triage and ongoing treatments.

“Despite receiving less than 40 cents for every federal dollar spent on national forests, tribes are restoring forest health and reducing tree mortality. Their success is rooted in thousands of years of stewardship and a willingness to act where federal policy too often stalls.”
Tribes lead the way in forest resilience • Washington State Standard
COMMENTARY | Tribal lands in the Pacific Northwest are earning national recognition for something the U.S. Forest Service has struggled to achieve: healthy, resilient forests.

“Fresno” is Spanish for ash tree , btw, and the California city (where I live) and county were named for the Oregon ash trees native to the area’s riparian forests.

Yes, it’s a good article and could have been better. Greg didn’t mention the intertribal partnerships involved in the proposed Teakettle prescribed burn project and the missed opportunities to restore cultural landscapes and demonstrate respectful, U.S. government-to-Tribal government collaboration.
