    For almost 100 years after the park was established there was a fire suppression policy, all fires were quickly extinguished.
    During this time very few seedlings thrived.
    The small seedlings need a cleared, nutrient-rich environment to become established. Without fire the conditions are very uncommon.
    The mature trees have a thick fire-resistant bark.

    Fire suppression policies are environmentally unhealthy to a growing, maturing forest.

    The forests did OK before there were men in them. Fires raged til they burned themselves out. When man came, the Indians usually fled the fires, occasionally clearing a firebreak.
