Where do you stand in this issue?

I agree that all the blow down /fire damaged trees should be harvested. And not only the unseen areas but any where the resourse is accessible. The Canadian side of the BWCA was harvested after the blow down and in a few years it was safe and "pretty". Meanwhile the US side continues to be a hazzard for visitors and fire danger as well.

The other option that would make as much sense as what is done now is to close the entire area and declare it off limits to humans. Do nothing unless a fire crosses the boundary. It should be good enough just to know that such wild places exist.
