Dunno if this is what you're thinking, but Trump criticized California for not following Finland's example and swept their forest floors. Does CA even have forests?

Yes California has forests. San Bernardino mountains has Big Bear National Forest. There is also Kings Canyon and the Redwood National Forests. You also have Mount Lassen National Forests in northern California. As well as Mount Whitney where Lake Tahoe divides California from Nevada. California is covered with many forests. But stupid Trump claiming they need to clean up their forest floors is a lie.
California forests are very well maintained and kept very clean. They have running water toilets in most campgrounds. Public sinks to wash your camping dishes. Proper places to dispose of your trash when camping. And places to get good clean running water for cooking and to drink. I am a native-born Californian. I have lived in Colorado for the past 22 years.
Thanks for that information. You must have been as puzzled over my comment as I was when my British SIL asked me if we had any trees in Pennsylvania. I've only been to the populated San Diego, La Jolla areas.
Marie, California has beautiful forests. And Trump's hateful remark is because if he had his way about it, California forests would be cut down without any discretion. Preserving Old Grove Forest is an absolutely beautiful forest, and it would take hundreds of years to grow back those trees. Also, the Department of Forestry in California they do controlled burns on the forest floors to control fire hazards. And when there is a fire in any of the forests, the men from the Department of Forestry go out and replant all the trees that got burnt down.
California takes excellent care of their forests. I went to work as a volunteer to work with the Depart of Forestry in California to replant beautiful pine trees that had burnt down in northern California. I learned allot about caring for a forest from those men. I spent a week with them planting 260 Ponderosa Pine trees. I was taking an Environmental Class at the local Community College. Part of my Political Science Major.
If Republicans had their way this planet would burn. They don't care about the future of our world. Only about their stinking greed. I urge you to take a nice vacation and go camping and visit some of California's beautiful forests. The best places in the world to go camping. They also protect their wildlife.
TY for all this vital information, Bonnie. THAT is the rub, for them - our precious wildlife comes before their oil drilling and mining to strip below California and other National Wonders (the Grand Canyon anyone?) for their minerals. Greed IS the overriding driving force behind these oligarchs and we're now facing years of these monsters raping our Wild Spaces. It makes me sick. For years I've wished someone would drop orange mango deep into a Redwood Forest - for a day, so he could have a CLUE about the height of a downed redwood tree (they're gigantic and impassable). He'd be a blubbering mess by the time they picked him up. He's also a DUNCE when it comes to our History and Geography: has zero conception of the relative size of Finland to our stunning National Forests, the dimwit.
I was referring to your question "Does CA even have forests?" which was in fact serious. You say that you've only been to the populated San Diego, La Jolla areas, but many people who have never been anywhere near CA are well aware that it has forests. And Torrey Pines is a coniferous forest. So a better response would be something like "Yeah, that was rather foolish of me".

Seriously? California has many forests. But you can't (and shouldn't) prevent fires by sweeping forest floors, which is an impossible task and Finland doesn't do it either. https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-Norway-has-Sweepers-in-the-forest-to-rake-up-debris-to-prevent-forest-fires
No, not seriously. I was repeating what Trump claimed when he said CA should sweep their forest floors to prevent forest fires.

Thank you for taking the time to educate me.
