First it was the pine beetle. Now, another nasty bug is coming for a popular tree in Montana's urban areas. City park officials are concerned and you should be too.
Your favorite fruit trees are going to die soon in Montana if you see any damage similar to these pictures. A long winter with deep snowbanks made for the perfect "storm" of destruction by a hated rodent - the vole.
I look at this view every single day but today I realized that it is starting to look bright green again! All the tops of the trees are different shades of green and it is gorgeous. From up here all the trees look like green cotton balls...
