Sequester Guts Wildfire Prevention, Sets Up Bigger Blazes

| "Tree coming down!"
Skyler Lofgren shouts above a din of buzzing chainsaws, leans into his own, and with a final heave topples another 40-foot Ponderosa pine. Lofgren, 27, a forest firefighting crew boss with Flagstaff, Arizona's fire department, felled a dozen trees on Monday, overseeing an outdoor classroom for a new crop of seasonal recruits who will spend the summer patrolling the Coconino National Forest with three-foot chainsaws at the ready. The crew will fight wildfires when they come, but the vast majority of their time will be spent on prevention or, as Lofgren puts it, "working ourselves out of a job."
In a stand of trees ten minutes outside downtown Flagstaff—a tight cluster of low-slung brick buildings peppered with Route 66 paraphernalia—Lofgren and his fellow firefighters are hard at work on a new project that local officials say is the first of its kind in the nation. Funded by a $10 million bond that voters approved by a three-to-one margin in November, the program ... |

Finding solitude along the still-wild Namekagon
|
22.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| Earth Journal writer Ron Meador is posting daily this week from the Namekagon River in Wisconsin.
Please don't get me wrong when I say that after a couple of long days paddling with all these people, I was ready for some solitude on the Namekagon River and yesterday I grabbed some.
Our group of 75 or so — the tally shifts from day to day as people join and others drop away — is diverse in every way: ages, origins, backgrounds, interests, paddling experience.
But civility, personal responsibility and respect are common denominators, and good humor is the rule. So is looking after one another, and as I listened last night to the stories of people getting pitched out of their boats and put back in, I noticed that a lot of the putting back in was done by people who count themselves as newbies.
