Sierra Club needs to start living in the real world of threats to our environment

Re: "Newsom must call for a California Summit on Wildfires" (Editorial, Nov. 13):

A California summit on wildfires should be priority one for our new governor.

What better way to use some of our budget surplus than to implement a better forest management plan. All federal and state forests in California are at high risk of catastrophic fire. The powerful Sierra Club needs to start living in the real world of threats to our environment. Fire is not good, is not cleansing and does not lead to a new natural cycle when the forests are in this catastrophic condition. It fought a good battle to stop clear-cutting of old-growth redwoods and should be commended but, as in many of its causes, it's gone too far.

It needs to take its head out of the ashes and smell the smoke and realize better forest management is the only way to get in front of this and stop this total destruction of our national treasures.
