In California, the actual spread of wood pests and diseases to other trees is facilitated by the Politically Correct tree-huggers of the U.S. Forest Service.
The U.S.F.S. prohibits loggers from harvesting dying and dead trees infested with pine beetles. The pests then spread rapidly from a few infected trees to the remainder of the forest. Logging cruisers complain loudly about it.
Big Government is either asleep at the switch; Or over-reacting long after the horses have escaped from the barn. Isn't Big Government wonderful?
