Burns would go a very long way. I read the people and peaks book about the Willmore. About 120 + years ago, the natives would burn those valleys with prescribed burns. It would keep the willow and scrub brush down so the grass could grow for their horses. That grass was huge for the ungulates population. Lots more game back then. Still seeing deer, ek, moose, grizz, sheep, goats and wolves in that area. Wishing they would burn some of those valleys out again and help the critters though
