Interesting thread re: predatory nematodes.

It boils down to money. There are millions of acres of overstocked timberlands. We scarcely have the money to treat the trees in the campgrounds. (yes, I have seen men in bunny suits spray high value campground trees with a 60' boom truck)

At some point, we will have to take responsibility for the fact that we humans have interupted the natural cycle. We cannot "wish the overcrowded trees away" nor look for a silver bullet.

The fact is that there are too many trees - too many for the land to support. If the pine beatle doesn't kill them, drought or disease will.

I say it is better to turn these trees into power or products then to let them become worm food or burn in a confligration.

I haven't had time to read this thread yet, but I agree with this last post :~)

Thanks for the pings :~)
