I used to be a wildland firefighter for the USFS and was stationed on a forest where two districts were split in half by a reservation where the land was managed by the BIA.
Driving from one district to the other you could see the health of the forest change almost immediately when you crossed a border.
BIA land had lots of healthy and appropriately spaced trees, wildlife, tall grasses. USFS land had dead grass and trees packed together, 10 snags for every healthy one.
