New Mexico wildfire tests forest management approach
The Whitewater Baldy fire in the Gila National Forest grows into the largest U S wildfire in New Mexico history. Fire managers use natural fire as a tool to restore forest conditions, hoping to prove that letting flames burn when conditions allow yields less intense future fires. Researchers see a unique chance to study this strategy as drought and overgrown forests raise megafire risks.
