My family moved to Jackson, Wyoming in 1988 and soon after, the Yellowstone fires started. I remember seeing Yellowstone before and the year after, with everything burned. Gradually, the lodgepole pine grew back in force and what burned then is now a 30 year old strong, healthy forest. Fire is integral to our region.
fires were there before you ever heard of the waste pit called Jackson Hole. "with everything burned"???? you never left your car in the massive national park.
A Lot of the park burned in 1988, 793,000 of 2,221,800 acres, or about 36 percent of the forest and sixty-seven structures, but that is a long way from "everything"... One of those structures was an employee cabin I _could have_ lived in back in the 1981, as I lived a cabin at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge at that time. I worked at the Old Faithful Inn, the Snow Lodge as a Night Auditor, and the Lake Hotel as a temporary painter, over the course of four summers between 1978 to 1982. I also worked at Teton Village at the building where the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra stays that it's rooms were rented by the week in 1982 at non-Festival times. All I had to do was check people in on Sundays and check them out the next Saturday, and sit in the office during the evenings in case anyone needed anything. At sunset you could always find me sitting in front of the Conductors room on the top floor, enjoying the sunset on the Sleeping Indian across the valley... Which was _always_ outstanding!
Smokey Bear always says, "Only you can prevent forest fires/wildfires!" But never once mentioned anything about this in his public service announcements.
Some trees and foliage have evolved with wildfires, to the point where their seeds can only be opened in the presence of fire. Not all fire is harmful, if it's natural and controlled. Smokey the Bear refers to unnatural, uncontrolled fires, which are harmful and can burn everything instead of a small area.
No offense intended, but Smokey's mantra was "Only you can prevent FOREST fires." The campaign was created because post-WWII campers were driving to parks in record numbers - and had to be told how to put out their campfires completely because, you know: forest and park officials were tracing FOREST fires to campfires. If Smokey were around today, he'd either be sounding the alarm about man-made climate change and getting drunk with David Attenborough - or saying climate change is a hoax created by China, Al Gore, and Greta Thunberg. He's a bear, so it's hard to predict his reactions to things, you know? 🐻 Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
@@shlingusdingus4174 I hate to be a cranky-pants fact checker, but Smokey was part of a campaign to teach people to correctly put out campfires and to not toss cigarettes out of car windows.

35 years living in NW Montana and seeing massive fires burn millions of acres is a "choking" experience, but the immediacy of regrowth is a spectacular event. literally within weeks regrowth starts. flowers are blooming everywhere the next year.....
Yes, but unfortunately people got too good at stopping fires in the late 20th century, so there is decades of deadfall everywhere that should have burned long ago. There is too much fuel, which makes fires harder to control now.
this is a prove that nature doesn't need any human to regenerate itself, it's human who need the nature but we as human always forgot to preserve the nature and instead we always make a mistake by harming the environment.
Natives would deliberating start fires to clear old grasses, promote and attract big game. We have too many trees in the columbia valley (headwaters of the mighty Columbia) and we should be grassland: elk, sheep, turkeys, game birds. Instead we have small deer, black bear, and crows.
Also there is alot of dead wood beetles that are dependent upon burned dead wood so there isnt only the first second succession species such as the fireweeds that create life
Yes, I believe beaver colonies would be refuges and buffers for the fauna in such fires, because of the ponds and recharged aquifers that their work creates.
Nature has a way of healing herself, and coming back as good or better. She has been doing this for billions of years, she is an expert. If Man does not understand her ways it seems Humans only get in the way or worsens or delays the healing … First of all do no harm.

I love how he says the animals will starve to death this winter without the Pine Forest. Lodgepole Pine forests are a dessert to 99% of Wildlife. they produce almost nothing edible other than pine nuts that only benefit squirrels, pine martins and some birds. Animals do far better in areas that have been burned or clear-cut that they do in the black forest.
Well when dead timber piles up and nobody is allowed to touch it for decades, that happens unfortunately. It has so much fuel it just burns everything.

Last year, and starting again this spring, even more intense and devastating fires are burning in Western Canada. In the past five years, fires in CA and CO burned over the Sierra and Rocky Mountain crests, respectively. Both were unprecedented. North America is by no means the only continent experiencing such conflagrations. Wildfires are driven by fuels, weather, and topography. Climate change is driving the first two.
in nature, there is no such thing as devastating fires, this is a city boys notion. he wild landscape is formed by fires, it is part of the recipe of paradise.

I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Its like people don't know that fires can be very beneficial to forests.
Actually, most people don't unless they ever lived in a forest, which the majority of people in the US have not.
Smokey Bear always says, "Only you can prevent forest fires/wildfires!" But never once mentioned anything about this in his public service announcements.
Always FEAR MONGERING
Smoky was referring to man made wildfires. He must have mentioned for us to wait for roasted meat.

The heat of the fire also releases the seeds from the pinecones.

These trees are made for the fires which grow better and richer after every blaze.
Lodgepole pine requires fire to help open its cones so seeds can sprout.
Fires a a natural part of the cycle
Yup 👍🏽 but the agenda is use natural events with manipulated stats so make humans pay more tax. Lmao
Yes, but unfortunately people got too good at stopping fires in the late 20th century, so there is decades of deadfall everywhere that should have burned long ago. There is too much fuel, which makes fires harder to control now.
Tell that to all the tree Huggers. They would rather see the forest rot and die from disease then have them cut down and reforested
2:25 I hate how satisfied that damn hummingbird looks while sitting on the flower.
Yep, I visited Yellowstone about 7 years after that fire. There were more little pine trees growing, than what was burned down. Very cool.
Like nothing new can be made without destruction of the old
Sehr schön 🤠
Thankyou
Yup I was there in 88 and it's kind of funny.They're gonna have that fire stock but the forest service actually lit the fire themselves
Mother nature sure works wonders
One thing that isboften overlooked is that the smoke from the fire fetilizes a large area down wind.
this is a prove that nature doesn't need any human to regenerate itself, it's human who need the nature but we as human always forgot to preserve the nature and instead we always make a mistake by harming the environment.

And once again the camera man survived the blaze... 😂

Also there is alot of dead wood beetles that are dependent upon burned dead wood so there isnt only the first second succession species such as the fireweeds that create life
Exactly, and woodpeckers and other birds need to feed on those Beatles
As long as it is natural fire it is not in our control. But still animal will suffer for the same. Nice video
Most don't suffer. They show back up within a few days of the fire. They evolved along with the forest and the fires.
I'm sure they move & adapt.
Wander how bad the fires would be and how different America would look if beavers weren't nearly totally wiped out
Yes, I believe beaver colonies would be refuges and buffers for the fauna in such fires, because of the ponds and recharged aquifers that their work creates.
Beavers are the most important animal to North American wildlife!
What else did you expect?

Does this say what year this was? (Answer: of course not.)
Listen closer: in 1988 a third of the Yellowstone burned in a single summer.
Almost like it's part of the natural cycle
Ohhh really
