Some of the oldest and largest red spruce in this area. On a similar, nearby area, two hurricanes within an 8-year period destroyed 20 sq. feet of basal area of spruce. The eastern spruce beetle population probably built up in the windfall and they now are attacking and killing some large spruce like these.
