Kirk Bushman on Environment

No additional wilderness area in Montana

I am opposed to any additional wilderness area in Montana. I do not believe removing humans from the equation will better the forests in our state. In the past years, Montana forest fires have destroyed millions of acres of forest.

Unmanaged forest have accumulated such high fuel loads that when started, these fires grow quickly into raging firestorms that cannot be extinguished. Proper forest management is the key to maintaining a healthy forest that benefits wildlife & recreation.
