Say goodbye to San Bernardino Mtn. conifers
This is a letter I wrote to our governor for California and the local news
agencies concerning the total destruction (80% so far) of our forest by a beetle that has been able to infest trees because the drought. The tree can't make sap to stop the beetles from getting into the bark. The tree is dead in about a year. Read below. If you can help in any way, please do. Everything I am saying is true. I will have pictures in the next couple of days. Some of this is repeated as it was funneled to several news agencies. SNIP The bark beetle has destroyed 80% of our trees in 1 year. HELP!!!! I wrote the below excerpt to the Governor. This is a situation that has been ignored too long. Come up to my house.....I will show you a disaster that will make your jaw drop and you heart sink. This story WILL be picked up,,,,,it's too devastating to ignore. Dear Governor, I beg of you to look into the matter of the "bark beetle" and the devastation that it's reaping on our southern California forests. We need assistance badly,,,or at least information on what to do about this widening problem. We have lost 80% of our conifers,,,,,and we may lose them all. I almost cried when I took a trip to the upper canyon where I live. All the trees were dead (not dying----DEAD!) Is there anything we can do to stop or at least slow this disaster. I BEG OF YOU, please look in to this. We have not been told anything about what we can do to save our individual lot-trees. I have about 35 conifers ranging in age from 5 years to 120 years. I have 2 redwoods that are about 100 feet tall. They will die in about 5 months if help is not received. Please look into this, Joseph |

State politicians, everywhere, are ignorant of forestry issues.
