Getting back to this black mossy stuff on the pines around Maligne. Anyone notice this....kind of hard not too. You will find a lot of pieces of pines now on all the walking paths as they are dropping branches and bits in the die off. I tried googling what it might be with no luck. Everything came back as mountain pine beetle but this is something else....noticed it started about 4-5 years ago and slowly spreading it it speeding up.
I'll get some good pics for sure on the July long. Not hard to find it...you will notice all the trees on the road in just before Maligne all look darker than normal. That is the mossy crap that is dark grey in color. Those trees will all be 100% dead along the road in a year or a bit more.
