I think that to approach this from the lens of forest management is only to continue all the mistakes that have led up to this, regardless of the governments that have put them forward.
I think stewardship—indigenous fire and land stewardship—is really the lens that we need to approach this with. Management is far too short-sighted. Management is far too susceptible to the whims of the political winds that affect it. Stewardship is an ongoing relationship and practice of stewarding the land so it can steward you.
I think getting to that place in this country through conversations like this is inspiring.
