Several people believe in the idea that coal production increases job opportunities. This is one of…

Controlled fires help maintain the health of an existing natural area containing native plants and they help manage weeds and other growth, which helps to reduce the risk of wildfires. Fire is one of the best outdoor management tools for invasive plant control. For over 10 years ecologists have been using this technique, which has spread to many other trained people to use as a tool. Woodlands, prairies, and…
