The vegetation seems not to be affected by the fires, year to year.<br />I have noticed that wildfires in Colorado burn both the underbrush and the trees. The very next year, the underbrush grows and is nice and green. but the trees remain black. The area becomes an eyesore for years. That is why I'm against allowing wildfires to burn themselves out as a part of "natural events".<br /><br />BruceBruce Grosshttp://www.hikinggpsshop.comnoreply@blogger.com
