Beetle-Killed Trees Pose Problem For Firefighters

October 11, 2010 by Sharon

CBS news story here. Also a link on the right of the page to a video “how forest crews are dealing with dead trees.”

For you folks who never want to hear about bark beetles and dead trees again.. this always brings a smile to my face when I think I am beetled out. Bark Beetle Boogie by Øystein Sunde.

Recommended Comment Considerations

When commenting, please consider the three doors that charitable speech must pass through. The gatekeeper at the door asks, "Is it true?" The second gatekeeper asks, "Is it helpful?" The third gatekeeper asks, "Is it kind?" (adapted from the writings of Krishnamurti by James Martin on p. 169 of his book "Between Heaven and Mirth.)

Purpose

We intend to provide a forum where different academic communities (social, physical and biological disciplines, law, policy), agency employees and retirees, students and the general public can come together to share perspectives on national forest management and planning.
