"Where do I get one of those red trees?"

[Native Vail Gal]

Are you kidding me?????!!!!!!!!!!

We are having tourists coming to Colorado and going into the mountains and asking where they can buy the red trees!

I say "TAKE THEM!"

They are red because they are a result of "BEETLE KILL!!!!"
Not Pretty!

Beetle Kill is taking our forests here. It's SO sad, to me. "Mr. NVG to be" says it's just nature taking care of itself every now and then. I say THHHHHHHHHHH!

I want my green evergreens back!

Do you have beetle kill where you are?

 

[Gloria]

Yup

You know we do. Not quite as bad as you do in Colorado, our heavier infestations have been within the past few years. I know what you mean though, gross. It's weird though, they attack the drought stressed trees, dry them out, and then get fried themselves
when that part of the forest burns up. Natures way of taking care of things, in alot of ways huh?

It's really depressing around here. In the summer, when I work as a tour guide, people keep asking me if we get early foliage out here.
