After the Cottonwood Fire scorched 97,000 acres in Utah, monsoon rains turned the ash-covered land into a flash flood disaster, destroying homes, roads, and water systems.

Bureaucratic delays and lawsuits are blocking critical forest thinning and fuel reduction efforts, creating a dangerous cycle. The Forest Service is pushing to speed up environmental reviews and even relocate headquarters closer to the land, while lawmakers hope the Fix Our Forests Act can cut through legal roadblocks. Fixing our forests isn’t just about fire—it’s about stopping the floods that follow. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
