Seen some maps of the progression of the pine beetle. I think our forests are on the losing end of the bug. The Beetle has spread so fast and so quickly that our forest has no hope. The bad thing is that you know what follows the dead trees standing in the forest from the pine beetle, fire. Our Government is doing everything it can to try to save the trees, cutting burning, but will it be enough, the idea is to keep the beetle from spreading any further east then Alberta. The surveys from 2005 thru 2009 can be viewed. Form your own opinion. www.mpb.alberta.ca/Resources/regionalmaps.aspx
