Just one of the many reasons why we do fire mitigation!

Through forestry fire mitigation, we learned that by prudently thinning the forests, wildlife would "come back". Have they ever! Here's some of what we've seen since we started doing this.

Bull Elk. Majestic!

Mule Deer. Dad loved watching them.

Black bear tracks (those are my size 14's in the picture). Also have a couple of photos of this bear but can't find them right now.
