“Pine Beetles and Silk Flowers”
Over the past ten years, slowly but surely, there has been a wave of sickness moving through the Pine trees of the Rocky Mountains, all the way from Canada down to Mexico.
Some estimates are that at least one million trees containing more than 1 billion board feet of timber are dying each year.

Everyday, as the bus carried me from home to school I passed the huge runways for the B52 SAC Bombers. Read the rest of this entry »
