But what can I do? The forest service is planning a huge project around our area and getting rid of a lot of the beetle kill. It will be even uglier after that.<br />So sad!Roseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02265196480664185330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430215742448474470.post-73330543675665149122012-01-17T17:42:44.283-08:002012-01-17T17:42:44.283-08:00Melanie, do you see any other species moving into the spaces where the pines once stood or has it become just a death zone? Glad to hear some of the younger trees have survived but I guess the question is whether they will be able to age to maturity and form cones to start a new generation. One of our favourite parks was being overrun by beetles a few years ago, I hate to think what it looks like now. Fire seems inevitable.Margueritehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430215742448474470.post-12101485814468545462012-01-17T02:58:49.836-08:002012-01-17T02:58:49.836-08:00It was quite a good read hearing about how you chose your wood for your log cabin. Most interesting seeing the dead beetles. I think that might make me run for the hills. I hope this winter is very cold and kills off those beetles.tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.com
