Mountain Pine Beetle

Mountain pine beetle infestations continue to kill entire hillsides of lodgepole pine. Three other tree species also suffer from this intrusive insect – ponderosa, limber, and bristlecone pine trees. The epidemic’s core area exists in the Arapaho, White River, and Medicine Bow-Routt, National Forests and adjacent forested lands.
