Q7. Fire, Pine Beetle, and other natural forces can create an eye sore (albeit natural for the general cycle of healthy forests) that’s hard to stomach. Any places in particular come to mind where you wish restoration to their full glory in your lifetime? #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A7 right here at home. That pine beetle is making such a mess of things. 😩 Every mountainside has larger and larger brown stands of pine every year. I'd post a pic but it ain't a pretty site. #blackhills #southdakota

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7 Rocky Mountain NP is being ravaged by the pine beetle. Other places too. And so many trees dying from drought conditions in the west. Sad to see. #ParkChat

A7. When it's natural, I actually find incredible beauty in charred trees and the sprouting growth below them. Especially when it's hundreds of tiny pine trees that you know will all fight to be one of the three or four that actually make it in that spot. #parkchat https://t.co/gW2PKHpFwD

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7) I've been going to Tunnel View in Yosemite NP for over 35 years and it sad to see the damage Pine Beetle has done. Luckily there's funding going on to help restore the area. #ParkChat

A7 Mesa Verde, unlike other national parks, did not implement control burns due to the omnipresence of archeological resources, and this has resulted in large wildfires that burned two-thirds of the park’s area within the last 15 years. #parkchat

A7) I would really love to see hemlocks back in @ShenandoahNPS. They are nearly all gone after invasive bugs. #ParkChat

A7. Washington has had devastating forest fires in the past three years. I hope to see the Carlton Complex Burn grow back. Outside my home turf, @BandelierNPS. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7 #parkchat The fire-ravaged area near Red’s Meadow in the Sierras. The fire was in the ‘92 and the regrowth takes so long in that climate. It sure opened up some nice views though…

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7 The Columbia Gorge fire really hit me hard, and due to climate change I doubt it will ever be the same as it was. It is certainly the place I would most like to see restored to its former glory! #parkchat https://t.co/8uCoSt0Sca

A7. After the forest fires I can say any of the burned areas I hope heal! 🌲 #ParkChat
