In the midst of a competitive recall election, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has called attention to his now emphasizing proper forest management as key to containing the wildfires that have devastated the state.
On Aug. 24 the Office of the Governor of California posted a video on Twitter in which Newsom stands in front of a smoldering blaze, part of the ongoing Caldor Fire. Newsom highlighted the difference between land that had been cleared by the state and private landowners, versus U.S. Forest Service land where undergrowth hadn’t been cleared.
