Manzano Mountains in New Mexico

You can tell by the dead trees that this part of the mountain was scorched by fire in the recent past. However, the grass is coming back and eventually the trees will return. At one time, fire was a natural and needed event. Then man started putting out every blaze, no matter how small, upsetting the balance. Now our wildfires have so much fuel built up, they have become powerful, devastating events.
