An often overlooked threat to old growth forests is the accumulation of debris around the base of some trees. Ponderosa pine especially can accumulate a lot of debris around their bases.
Especially the larger old growth trees. These trees are adapted to be wildfire resistant. But after nearly a century of suppressing wildfires, this accumulated fuel will burn so hot and long, it often burns through the bark and kills the trees. We got a volunteer group together to clean up this fuel around the base of the old growth ponderosa pine trees on my family's forest land. These trees will now be more fire resistant and will be more likely to survive a wildfire.
