To hear the wildlife and range people talk you'd think this was Kudzu or something. Invasive, they call it. Well. It's not. It is Utah juniper. A native species. It does what it does. And sometimes that means it "encroaches" on rangelands. The one in the picture is hardly an encroacher though. It might be 500 years old. Or 800. I like these old trees. Growing here before Coronado went to Kansas.
