I still don't understand how we got here. My mom is a Botanist by education, with a graduate degree from a respected university. She lives in a small community right in the center or some of the most extreme wildfire risk in the country.

She brought up one day that if only her Governor would make sure the forests were raked up, the wildfires wouldn't be a problem.

It's so baffling.

Wow.

She's not a fire fighter, so I can kind of understand her thinking that's even remotely plausible or effective.

But as a botanist, she should absolutely know that the undergrowth needs that decaying leaf litter to support the complex ecosystem that keeps the soil fertile.
