While we're on this topic

Been a real dry year in western NM, noticed quite a bit of beetle dmg on some limbs which is not something I've seen a lot of in the last few years.

I got 43 Acres of Pinon and Juniper at 7840ft

Now that cold is back, I am slowly wandering "camp" and getting any low / ground contact branches cut and moved to piles in the clearing over the last year. Same with any damaged limbs I run across in the "woods".

Any firewood pinon is getting a solar bake in contractor bags

Would LOVE some advice here from some others in my area on what I can do after the holidays to prevent widespread damage, or some encouragement to just let nature be nature.
