But its not a healthy forest. Black Oak death is epidemic. There has
been a fungus killing the Dogwood. There is also the pine bark beetle
killing the larger pines. The Forest service does set fires to clear the
brush, but the disease problems are worse in some areas, and they want
that fuel taken out beforehand.
