Recently three men hailing from local environmentalist groups crafted an opinion piece, which was published in the Mail Tribune in an attempt to berate the value of the Natural Wildfire Abatement And Forest Protection Plan, also known as the Wild Horse Fire Brigade, and question the many intelligent people (scientists, firefighters, politicians and Americans) who already support it. The article was titled “All the king’s horses can’t make wildfires go away,” by Dennis Odion, Dominick DellaSala and Dominic DiPaolo. Grant-stream environmentalists who have gotten it wrong so often over the past three decades are worried. They have lost credibility as a result of policy failures ranging from wildfire management and sustainable timber harvest… They are doubling down on their “let it burn” policy position.
