How Frequent fires are changing Western landscapes

Climate is moving northward at roughly 13.3 miles per decade. Northern Oregon should be adding fire resistant native species from around Sacramento CA to our "native forest" restoration. There needs to be the seeds and nurse plants available to reforest for how the climate is becoming, instead of attempting to restore forests to what they once were, in a now unsuitable climate.

Food production needs to change radically. The extractive ploughed field industrial agriculture model needs to be abandoned. Ploughing fields release massive amounts of carbon and rob soils of organic material that hold moisture in the soil.

This dire situation could be restored, but without people willing to step up and lead the way by developing and showing what works, and by pressuring politicians to support these policies, nothing will change.
