With increased fire frequency, regeneration can never replace what was lost. Also, the southwest USA is getting drier each year (climate change) so it's hard for new trees to get established. If these fires started in the East Fork continue at this frequency, all we'll be left with are grasses and poodledog bush.Bellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168550139269893109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873199667002176860.post-59271262096038983112012-09-04T14:40:56.623-07:002012-09-04T14:40:56.623-07:00I was at the Gateway Visitor Center when it starte...I was at the Gateway Visitor Center when it started...I am a volunteer with ANF ...we spent the rest of the day turning cars around....One lady said she saw the car fire that started it.
