## Resource

Beaver, Utah, is reeling from floods that followed a catastrophic wildfire, forcing federal and state leaders to confront how we manage our forests—and whether current environmental rules are hindering necessary action. Locals blame overly restrictive regulations for allowing forests to become dangerously overgrown, while lawmakers push to speed up permitting and pass the Fix Our Forests Act. Three hydropower plants and countless homes are gone, leaving residents frustrated and demanding more local control. Officials admit the system is too complex and are pledging to streamline it, as the West’s communities look for a balanced path between ecological protection and practical forest management to prevent future disasters.
