In Arizona, we used to prepare for fire season, but those days are long gone as we now must be on high alert most of the year, and we are experiencing bigger and more intense fires as we try to adjust to the changing climate. Our forests, which have always held a special place in the hearts of hunters like me, are facing an unprecedented vulnerability in this new reality. Now, more than ever, we need to manage our forests actively to make them able to withstand the conditions we are facing. (Photo by Pexels)
