Subject: Working and Natural Lands Alternative Scenarios
Comment:
The alternative scenarios are flawed because they combine forested
lands and shrublands.  A scientifically sound management plan for
the various alternatives, especially regarding prescribed burns, 
cannot be formulated with these vegetation types treated together. 
The combining of ecologically different plant communities will lead
to erroneous management practices over large parts of the state for
carbon sequestration, climate resilience, and wildfire management.
The model mix of strategies, while sounding beneficial, cannot be
successful unless shrublands are managed in their specific
ecological context.  CARB should withdraw these scenarios and
provide a separate category for shrublands. After scientifically,
sound scenarios are recirculated, a focus on conservation and
restoration, carbon sequestration, and climate resilience will be
appropriate. Thank you for considering my comments.
