Yeah, that last one. I think that's what's doin' 'em in. Or root rot or road salt, but I like your idea better.
I drive the corridor a lot. As in, daily. Most of those trees got zapped during last year's heat and drought. That said, I haven't personally assessed each tree, and it's possible that the drought weakened them enough that they are suffering from some other opportunistic malady.Was driving home after doing a bit of kayaking near Snoqualmie Pass and noticed tons and tons of fir trees that looked like they were rust colored from top to bottom. The die-off seemed particularly acute near Exit 38 - with what looked like 2-3 acres of dead trees clustered together. Deciduous trees seemed totally unaffected. The closest thing I can recall is the look of some pine forests in central Oregon during a pine-beetle infestation.
Anyone have any idea what's killing the trees? Some kind of beetle? Virus? Fungus? Lingering effects of last years's drought? Essentializing neocolonialist heteronormative cis-privileging narrative institutional meta-hegemony?
No.neocolonialist heteronormative cis-privieleging narrative institutional meta-hegemony. Does that mean they are being
peed on?
Stop using that Vaseline hair tonic! That's what's making your mind slip!It's a bug doing all the damage. A beetle of some kind or is it a moth. The name has slipped my memory at this time.
