Celebrate WildFire!

Tree Diva Philosophy
-
We are angry that the agencies and media has demonized wildfire, calling it destructive & catastrophic vs cleansing & regenerative.
-
We are angry that millions of dollars are going toward landscaping the homes of wealthy vs true forest stewardship.
-
We are upset that live healthy trees & tree snags are being removed from the forest based off of prescriptions consisting of outdated science.
-
We are angry that the agencies are not looking at the new science and are stuck in old paradigms.
-
We believe the forests need the human component in them and we should not isolate the human from nature.
-
We believe 'cleaning' the forest with human intuition is better than large mechanical means where a machine operator in a cab of a masticator can make the decisions of life or death of a tree.
-
We believe that institutional knowledge is not allow for actual knowing thru intuition and spiritual connection to the land.
-
We believe that wildfire should be celebrated for her selective balance of life and death without the need for human intervention.
-
We believe monies should not go toward cutting trees, but should be used for home hardening and defensible space around homes.
-
We believe in wildfire's ability to burn in a healthy mosaic by the natural fire waterways, promoting beaver and wetland ecosystems as means of utilizing a natural fire break, not the firebreak where agencies thin live trees to create their firebreak.
-
We believe that agencies need to address the fine-fuels in an area, a forest cannot sustain a wildfire without the fine fuel component of needles, grasses, and smaller woody material loosely packed together.
