The Eastern Red Cedar is fuel for fires, contributes to allergies, and sucks up precious gallons of water. The State should launch a serious effort to control these trees. There's plenty of manpower to do this. Does anyone think the recent fires will result in a serious eradication program?

No, there will be no effort to get rid of cedar trees.

Indeed, they are horrible burners. That area by Guthrie was cedar trees as far as the eye could see. This isn't the first time the area has burned.

Terlton area also has (had) lots of cedars. They are a blight on the landscape.

Actually, Oklahoma is taking steps to get rid of Red Cedar trees. Maybe not near Guymon, but more towards the center of Oklahoma. I know last year you could drive down HWY 51 to Stillwater and there would be piles of Red Cedar the entire length. North of Guthrie too.

This is a few years old, 2009.

Looks like they were taking action in the panhandle too.

This is great news. Wish they would come to Cherokee Co. I have spent time cutting down several red cedars with a bow-saw, and then cutting them up with same. Of course they were only 6 inch diameter. Wish I could get the big ones down.
