Yosemite Park Faces Massive Lodgepole Pine Dieback
The National Park Service says it will not intervene as millions of lodgepole and ponderosa pines in Yosemite National Park die from an insect infestation. Forest ecologist Dr. Jan van Wagtendonk notes the trees will recycle and regrow as part of the ecosystem, though concern rises for campgrounds and picnic areas where fallen trees could pose dangers. About 100,000 acres at elevations of 8,000 to 9,000 feet are affected by the lodgepole needle miner moths whose larvae kill needles.
