BEETLE KILL AND FOREST THINNING

The beetles have found Greater Vedauwoo. Most areas have been affected to one degree or another.
The USFS has had to resort to nearly clear – cutting several of these areas. Unfortunately, one such
location is right in Central Vedauwoo where there used to be a lush, dense pine forest with many
beautiful campsites and user facilities. HERE IS WHAT THIS AREA LOOKS LIKE NOW (7/12). Note
Fall Wall and the Coke Bottle in the background.
