Summary
As wildfires become more destructive in the Western United States, land managers are increasingly relying on mechanical thinning to manage hazardous fuels and restore forest health.
However, one significant challenge remains: the costs associated with thinning are often difficult to control, which can impede restoration efforts.
A recent study aims to explore potential solutions to these cost barriers, which could enhance the effectiveness of forest restoration initiatives.
