We're working in the lodgepole this week, between Yampa and Kremmling, Colorado. Most of the pines five inches in diameter and larger have been killed by the mountain pine beetle. There is some nice looking spruce, and a few aspen clones, but much of the rest of it is fir. We're not allowed to cut any green trees, so any treatments we prescribe will simply release the fir. We call it the fir preservation and promotion project.
