The Colorado Department of Natural Resources, alongside recent coverage by CBS, has reported increased mountain pine beetle activity across parts of the Front Range.
This species is especially concerning because — unlike other pine beetles that typically infest already weakened or dead trees — mountain pine beetles attack healthy pines, including ponderosa pine.
Damage is often well underway before homeowners notice visible symptoms. Early arborist assessment helps identify risk before widespread decline or tree loss occurs.
