So, is Trump going to hire more people to rake the floors of the Federal forests?

Or he could use one of these: And just for the record... it IS called raking.

We had to destroy the forest to save it-

 That's not a piece of equipment used in a forest that was recently logged is it?? I thought the idea was to NOT totally destroy the forest floor.
Isn't that why sometimes horses are used or rubber tire skidders?

Anyway what Trump said was moronic.We have always slashed and burned. The main reason our forests burn so hot is small trees, brush, extremely dry conditions and high winds.

Not because we don't rake.

So what's the difference between a root rake and a stick rake? Just the elevation of the blade??

I wonder if he knows that the dig he tried to put on California about 'poor forest management', really reflects on Federal government. They are national forest, not state forest.

In a nutshell, if you visit a recent mechanical logging site that uses selective logging, what is left is a healthy forested area free of brush and ready to be replanted for future logging. Once the logging operation is complete, they must do whatever the contract calls for in the way of clean-up. In some cases it might be piled up for burning. In other cases it might be separated into piles for processing into fuel and chips. In almost no cases is the slash just left where it fell. It has to be gathered up. And I don't care how much of an idiot Trump is... raking is a good way to describe what they do with all of that brush and crap. AND, if it's not logged, then that crap does not get handled because no one is going to go out and clear the brush without logging it... in some cases the logging is just a way to finance the clearing of underbrush. A good example of using logging to pay for fire supression was done with the heli logging that was recently done around Ashland.

Absolutely, It is amazing so many don't understand that.

It could be. I try and imagine hearing a knowledgeable forestry and logging person using the word "rake" the same way as trump ... I just can't. In other words the word rake could makes sense.. trump knows zero about forestry and is trying to act as if he does.

His other description... "CLEANING" and "DOING THINGS" Laughing Laughing




 “You’ve got to take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forests, it’s very important,” Trump said amid the ruins of the town of Paradise, which was entirely razed by the Camp Fire. He added that President Sauli Niinisto of the “forest nation” of Finland told him “they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don’t have any problem.”
