Suppression of fire is a significant factor in many ecosystems. The proliferation of cedar trees (Ashe juniper) over the last 100 years in Texas in due to a lack of fire.

It is hard to picture what Central Texas may have looked like 200 years ago.

I have a small place about 50 miles outside of Austin I am trying to restore and my biggest battle is with cedar and KR bluestem.

Obama was the wolf and white folks were the deer. There it had to be said.

Yep. Thankfully the southeast US has always maintained a fire culture, so most of our fire adapted ecosystems have been maintained in at least some form or fashion.

The damage the USFS fire suppression campaign did in some parts of the country is unreal, and may never be overcome. Just one of the many consequences of trying to "tame the land".

Fun fact…The whole Cajun prairie used to burn. Bison migrated almost to the gulf coast at one time. Red wolves were once prevalent throughout Acadiana. Not that long ago too I might add.
