Last week, in a little-noticed milestone, state officials signed a major agreement with the federal government that aims to reshape how forests are managed for years to come.
Under the plan, California agencies and the U.S. Forest Service will use brush clearing, logging and prescribed fires to thin out 1 million acres a year by 2025 — an area larger than Yosemite National Park every 12 months, and roughly double the current rate of thinning, which already is double rates from a few years ago.
The Forest Service and the state Natural Resources Agency also committed to drawing up a 20-year plan by next year to identify which areas of the state will get priority for thinning projects. They will update it every five years and share it with the public.
“What we’re seeing is a real partnership. There is a coming together,” said Jessica Morse, deputy secretary for forest resource management at the California Natural Resources Agency.
...
Morse said the goal is to treat at least 15 million acres, roughly 15% of all the land in California, including conifer forests like the ones that are burning near the coast, along with oak woodlands and other landscapes.
America... doing the work that California refuses to do on its own.
Another positive for Trump to get CA to agree to this.

I noticed it and posted it in various threads.
Your spin isn't the way I see it though, obviously.

The question for Trump is why didn't this happen sooner? The Feds need to take better care of their land. These are national forests, not California forests.

Weren’t the feds hamstrung by state regulations and onerous burn permit fees and absurd environmental impact study requirements? LOL Asking for a friend.

Most of the land in CA belongs to the FEDs. It’s their job.

Yes, they were tied up in red tape and environmentalist law suits. The same thing happened at the border wall sites where the groups claimed the wall would disrupt the migratory route of the spotted curly tail salamander butterflies and other such creatures.
Le or is La den resistance and their ubiquitous lawsuit tactic impedes much positive that Mr Trump's administration could have done sooner. The couple of resistor's comments are fait accompli.

And yet again I have to tell a liberal to get a forest map of CA before spewing all of this nonsense.
"Most of the land, blah blah blah". Look at a forest map. The lands are mingled with each other. CAL Fire has land right in the middle of Fed land.
If you actually looked things up for yourselves instead of relying on liars, you would have known that and not posted what you did.
They are both equally responsible for maintaining the areas. If a fire starts in Fed land, it doesn't just jump across the pieces of CAL Fire land, and then continue on ONLY to other parts of Fed land, ffs.
Trump advised them to start working on this...last year? The year before? And what did the left do? LAUGHED about it, as if it was a ridiculous suggestion.

Or, in more truthful words, America clearing its own land and Trump merely doing what he's whined about needing doing but tried to pass off the Federal responsibility on the state.
So the alleged "Another positive" for Trump is nothing but Trump actually doing his job for a change instead of whining about others.
Of course Trump offered Putin help to fight Siberian wildfires, NO questions asked and without whining about Vlad's forest management as he did about California's mostly Federal land management.
