Over grown forests MUST to be thinned for their own health. Trees fall because of storms and/or disease and they need to be removed. Young trees need space and light to grow. In NY our government gave in to the "No cutting at all tree huggers" on public land and they are now a mess. There IS a happy medium, and forests need to be MANAGED. People who don't know what they are talking about have created problems in our public forests.

I live near Yosemite, and bears are part of our lives. We haven't seen many this year for some reason. They are generally more afraid of you than you are of them, but be cautious when you come around a corner. They are startled easily
