California is making real headway on forest health and prescribed burns, cutting both wildfire risk and emissions. The new report shows how those steps also keep toxic smoke out of our communities.

Good to see the state finally taking fire prevention seriously instead of just letting the forests turn into tinderboxes.
California’s prescribed burns are the right tool. Less smoke, fewer megafires, measurable carbon cuts.
Prescribed burns that cut both wildfire fuel and the smoke choking communities line up with the practical, community-first approach rural places already use on the land.
California's forest work is a clear win for clean air and communities.
Good work on those prescribed burns, Arnold. Wildfires and smoke both dropping is big news.
Forest management and prescribed burns are smart steps. Lower risk, less smoke, and solid progress for communities.
Forest thinning and prescribed burns cut real risk and keep smoke out of neighborhoods.
Forest health work that actually cuts toxic smoke is worth the effort.
