“’ mountain pine beetles will kill the majority of Colorado’s large-diameter lodgepole pine forests within three to five years...”

I live in the mountains NW of Golden. This year I had 15 lodgepole pines on my property killed by beetles. The beetles cause grayish staining that causes vertical streaks in the wood so you can spot the evidence that the trees were killed by beetles as soon as you cut the tree down. I cut the trees up for fire wood :)
