Final point. We need federal support. 57% of the state's land is federal. 3% is in the hands of the state. I'll repeat that. 57% of the forest land in California is federal responsibility. 3% is the state. We're not here to focus on who's to blame. We're focused on what to do. We have a shared stewardship agreement with the federal administration, but we need to see it funded. (28:03–28:11)
