   Removing debris from the understory can lessen the possibility or impact   
   of wildfire. After 50 years or so of fire suppression fuel has had a   
   chance to build up. Several of the forests around here have been thinned   
   to restore them to the parklike appearance of a healthy ponderosa pine/   
   douglas fir forest.   
      
   I suppose for a New York City boy that isn't a forester 'raking' is pretty   
   damn close to the process employed.
