About the national park undergrowth…how about the option to release herds of goats to eat all that extra stuff on the ground to avoid having it burn eventually?
I’m not an expert, but I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. If goats aren’t native to the area, we’d want to be careful not to do more harm than good (like, what if the goats like the native plants but don’t eat the invasive species), ofc.
It’s certainly better than the logging industry’s argument that they can replicate the effects of forest fires by clear cutting old growth forests.
