Sierra is processing imported lumber mostly

I'd be interested to see the data re: "processing imported lumber mostly". Statewide back in 2016, California timber harvest was 1,572 MMBF; wood processing facilities received 1,483 MMBF; 11.5 MMBF flowed into California from other states; 99.7 MMBF flowed out of California for processing out of state or export according to https://www.bber.umt.edu/pubs/forest/fidacs/CA2016%20Fact%20...

That's true about Oregon and Washington but NOT California. It's also why you don't see wildfires to nearly the same extent in the Northeast or South - we cut our trees.

All three have different topography and climates from the NE or the South. I don't understand why people think what works in one type of forest will just work in another. The trees are different, the climate is different, the weather is different.

There have been big fires in Oregon and Washington in recent years as well, not just in California. And the Tillamook Burn was big, but that was a long time ago.

The reason you don't see wildfires is because its like 1000% times wetter east of the Mississippi.

I take it you haven't spent much time out in the sticks of Oregon or Washington.
