- W3143485656 abstract "Wildfire is a growing threat to suburban and exurban communities, in part because fires have grown more severe and frequent as a result of land use and climatic influences and in part because more people are living in fire prone areas. The so-called Healthy Forest Restoration Act (HFRA), the federal government’s response to this crisis, is a deeply flawed statute that will likely exacerbate wildfire risks at the same time it makes real ecological restoration even harder. While HFRA took halting, partial steps toward the integration of broad and small scale land use planning, it was clearly still the outgrowth of a dysfunctional legislative process in Washington. Before the governance of public lands adapts completely to HFRA, this law should be overhauled (or repealed). I suggest targeted reforms to bring about more transparency, greater clarity on what we mean by “restoration,” and more attention to the trade-offs entailed by further expansion into the “wildland/urban interface.” Wildfire and sprawl are ugly facts of life. Wildfire burns millions of dollars in homes and other structures every year, costs billions of dollars to contain, and kills both firefighters and civilians almost every year. The costs of sprawl—the low-density occupation of landscapes by scattered residential and related uses—are no less familiar. Because of our propensity to sprawl, though, we seem incapable of planning our land uses around wildfire. More troubling still is that public lands law has made virtually no room for fire as an element of the landscape. In fact, the longer our public lands law is † Professor of Law, Western New England College, School of Law. This essay benefited from audiences at the University of Utah, Osgoode Hall Law School, Pace Law School, and Penn State University’s Dickinson School of Law, and from conversations with Bob Keiter, Nancy McLaughlin, Jim McLaughlin, and Lincoln Davies. Irene Burkhard provided invaluable research assistance. 1 The 2003 fire season is credited with having catalyzed support in Congress for HFRA. See JACQUELINE VAUGHN & HANNA J. CORTNER, GEORGE W. BUSH’S HEALTHY FORESTS: REFRAMING THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEBATE (2005). That year, California watched as 750,000 acres and 3,719 homes burned, 24 people perished, and over $100 million was spent trying to contain the blazes in southern California alone.
