Please be Mindful of Pine Beetles
Several BDR homeowners have cut and removed pine trees due to pine beetle infestation. Fortunately, it is not an epidemic but we encourage everyone to pay close attention to trees on their property and neighboring properties. According to an article by the Colorado State University (CSU) Extension Office, “The mountain pine beetle epidemic, drought, and most recently broken branches, tops, and toppled trees due to heavy snow or wind have contributed to the population increase.” We typically notice pine beetle attack after it’s too late – when the tree fades at the top or the entire tree. There are tell-tale signs of pine beetle attack before the tree fades, and we should be mindful of these signs to take immediate corrective action. The link to the CSU article on the Ips beetle is below. Please take a few minutes to read it, and share it with your neighbors. Thank you!
