Large fires pose a threat to any local climate action programs. It's hard to replace the carbon emissions from hundreds of thousands of burned trees in any reasonable timeframe..
Thank you for all of this information. Although I no longer live in the Valley, I am passionate about all fire issues. It is wonderful to hear about all of the important work that is being undertaken. I hope it will be a long time before we find out how much difference it will make.
The impact of wildfire smoke on human health can be huge. Following local fires, pediatricians in the North Bay area noticed a big increase in upper respiratory illnesses in local children, including chronic conditions like asthma. In my own case, since the fires I have a new tendency towards upper respiratory infections (we have no house fan or filter--old home). So I would hope to see some planning and awareness on the pubic health side.
Hi Pat, nice to hear from you. The leads for the St. Helena Fire Safe Council are Chris Warner and Jeff Farmer. Their email is sthelena@napafirewise.org. Send them a note, I'll bet they can put that project on their to-do list. Dave Stoneberg

Oops. I didn’t read all the choices - all of the above
We think you might be in good company. Thank you.

I would like to see the large growth of arundo in the Napa River near Pratt Street completely removed.
