WILDFIRE MANAGEMENT & WILD HORSES

There is a place for native wild horses on remote public lands in their natural role reducing understory vegetation and suppressing fire.
Common sense doesn't seem to have much impact on modern wildfire policies, and even less when preordained, and sometimes radical, environmental agendas are imbedded in Federal Agency rulemaking.

I saw that firsthand when serving as a County Commissioner and also as a member of the Southwest Montana BLM Resource Advisory Committee. Our input was often limited to rubber stamping preordained federal policies or being entirely shut out of the process, which happened to me quite a bit when I spoke out.

Local officials were there mostly for window dressing and to provide the perception of local input. What passed as legitimate land use policies before the BLM and US Forest Service management staffing were coopted by radical environmental NGOs, have turned many of our national forests into bug infested, mono-culture, poorly managed, and underutilized tinder boxes, waiting for the next catastrophic fire event.
