because they do provide clean air. they provide clean water. they provide wildlife habitat. but they don't do that when they're burned to the ground and these fires oftentimes are so hot that they burn the organic material out of the soil. so it's hard to get trees to grow back. we've seen this in the angora fire. i visited it several years ago, it was 12 years after the fire and it had been replanted six times and the trees still wouldn't grow on it. because the soil had been so damaged by these intense wildfires. the argument has been made that these fires are the result of climate change. if that is the case, the question still remains, what are we going to do about it? we have unhealthy forests. they're way overstocked. way more trees per acre than we've ever seen. small trees that are competing with other trees for light, for water and nutrients, and they get weakened and they die and insects and disease come in. and this just isn't california, it's all across our country. we know what to do. the question is, will we do it? the fix our forests act will give us the oppor
