Forest protection funding sparks North Carolina debate in Watauga
A letter from Z. T. Watson of Brookside NC urges continued forest fire prevention funding in Watauga County. He cites 20 000 in losses last year and contrasts Bald Mountain Township’s fire record with reduced wardens pay and warns against cutting protection measures. He notes timber demand and soil and stream impacts from fires. He also references chestnut blight spread in nearby states and lagging North Carolina damage.
