Positive Impact

Though many of us consider wildfires to be adverse, the positive impact on the environment cannot be over looked. Among other things, wildfires result in removal of old growth that can choke out desirable trees. During a wildfire, nutrients are released into the soil by burning dead or decaying matter. In turn, the added nutrients results in productive new plant growth.

 

However, statistics show that four out of five wildfires are started by humans. I think it is best to let Mother Nature determine its own course in this matter.
