Too many trees.

Bug juice might work for one tree after the tree is tented...

Very labor intensive for millions of trees.

The best treatment, he said, is proper forest management, including thinning.


Thinning Greenies...!!! Thought it was too good to be true.



When it comes to Greenies - call them what they are terrorists of a different color.

The Sierra Club is still fighting the foresters.

They still find weak, emotional judges to stop the foresters using science to manage the forests.

LOL george, how did you ever get me on a 'buggy' thread? I did look up the pine beetle on Google so I learned something.

Good memory !

That was one of the many double standard things that Tommy did that made me mad.

He got caught wanting SD to have healthy forests, but not for the rest of us.

I set Thune money to help throw that bumb out.
