Ep. 126 The Ecological Conscience

In this episode, I started off reading one of my favorite essays from Aldo Leopold from his collection of essays called, "The River of the Mother of God". The Ecological Conscience was a collection of personal examples Aldo Leopold experienced under the guise of conservation. After reading this, I came unglued. I was angry. I have my patience with the current status of so-called conservation in this country. God bless to the landowners either in state or out of state that work with locals to give them access to land. God bless those that take a kid or a veteran or disabled hunting. God bless those that are tired of the status quote and fire up a chain or light a drip torch. God bless those that listen to the scientist getting the funding to fund a fire ecology study or early successional studies. Thank you to the ones that care for the next one's turn.

Correction: I did mention about this 60 year Prescribed Fire Study here is the correct amount of browse per acre depending on the intervals
1 year intervals: 200#/acre
2 year interval: 400-500#/acre
3 year interval: 6000-800#/acre
Never burned: 25-100#/acre
But this took place in Florida with more denser plant communities and longer growing season. It would be interesting to see the amount of the browse from these fire intervals in the Midwest or New England
