______________________________ Cone collecting helping preserve at-risk trees in Colo.contributed by It's all part of an effort by the U.S. Forest Service to protect Engelmann Spruce Trees, which are now under siege in Colorado from the spruce beetle. Part of the San Isabel National Forest is on the leading edge of the spruce beetle outbreak and foresters said that outbreak is heading north within Colorado. ______________________________ The world’s 3 trillion trees, mappedcontributed by This research provides nothing less than an entirely different way of looking at the world — in terms of what you might call “tree wealth” or “tree resources.” After all, having lots of trees in a country provides a huge host of benefits — trees are both a natural resource and an asset to humans. Theyfilter water, combat air pollution, sequester huge amounts of carbon that would otherwise reside in the atmosphere, and even, it appears, contribute tohuman psychological and health benefits. Indeed, large parts of the world population depend on forests for food. ___________________________ VideosMany people prefer tp get information in a visual rather than a textual or audio format. We want to provide the information you need in the format that is most useful to you, so we have created the Colorado Tree Farmers YouTube channel
