Many people are concerned as to how the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic will effect Estes Park Real Estate Values. The pine beetle has decimated the forests in Grand County on the other side of the Continental Divide and Estes Park residents (myself included) are worried that the same fate lies ahead for the trees that surround Estes Park.

Yesterday, I was fortunate to attend the 3rd annual Estes Park Tree Symposium to learn all about the Mountain Pine Beetle and what local government agencies are doing to respond to the problem.

At the symposium, I gained a wealth of knowledge about the Mountain Pine Beetle and I now have tons of resources that I plan on passing along in the next few days.

Topics I plan on covering include:

• Identifying the Mountain Pine Beetle
• Preventing the beetle from attacking your trees
• Clearing and removal of beetle infested trees
• How will Estes Park real estate values be impacted?

If you have specific questions regarding the Mountain Pine Beetle and the impact it will have on the Estes Valley, please leave a comment below.
