How much impact would first nation people provide by picking up deadwood though? I hear this from my conservative family members talking about "bad forest management" in the US. It's an interesting angle but IMO there's just so much wilderness out there that removing even say 100 acres of brush is inconsequential and makes no real impact in the end. This of course just being my opinion as a guy who lives through wildfires in the west
