Wildfire misinformation often starts with oversimplification.

Some people suggest today's wildfires are just normal, natural events. Others argue forests will always recover on their own, or that fuel treatments don't make a difference. The science tells a more complete story.

Fire is natural in many forests, but many modern wildfires are burning outside the historical range of size and severity. Some forests grow back after fire, while others need active restoration. And well-designed fuel treatments can slow fire spread, lower fire intensity, and reduce severity.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer or silver bullet. Forest management is one of the most important tools we have to help forests become healthier, more resilient, and better prepared for future wildfire.

Wildfire preparedness doesn't start when flames appear. It starts months and years earlier. It starts with reducing hazardous fuels. Maintaining roads and access points. Supporting and building partnerships with local and regional trained crews. Managing forests so they are healthier and more resilient.

Sustainable forest management helps make wildfire response safer and more effective by improving conditions on the ground before the next fire arrives.

Great info from our friends over at the National Alliance of Forest Owners!

Severe wildfires have no single cause. The science is complex, and misinformation spreads quickly when the smoke is thick. Here are five misconceptions worth understanding.

Reducing wildfire risk requires more than an emergency response. It also requires long-term, proactive forest health work that helps remove hazardous fuels before they burn. Forest thinning, fuels reduction, ecological restoration, and defensible space projects all generate low-value woody material. When markets exist for this material, it's easier to do more of this work at the scale forests and communities need.

Reducing wildfire risk takes practical tools that work on the ground.
Thank you Oregon , , and others for introducing the Wildfire Reduction Market Expansion Act of 2026, which would help expand markets for low-value wood, thinnings, slash, and mill residuals generated through responsible forest management and fuels-reduction work.

When this material has a market, it is easier to put it to productive use instead of leaving it piled up, burned, or stranded as a dangerous fuel load.

We'd like to introduce Michael Griffin and congratulate him on 5 years with Lone Rock!

Michael's journey with Lone Rock began when he joined us as a college intern while studying Forest Engineering. After graduation, he spent time gaining valuable experience with Roseburg Forest Products before returning to Lone Rock five years ago as part of our Engineering Department.

Eager to gain hands-on experience, Michael soon moved to the road crew, operating equipment and quickly rising to the level of Assistant Supervisor. A little over a year ago, he stepped into his current role as Manager of Lone Rock Logging Company — a position in which his leadership and depth of experience have truly shined.

Michael brings a rare and powerful blend of on-the-ground operational know-how, formal engineering education, exceptional work ethic, and rock-solid integrity. We are very fortunate to have him as part of our team.
