Bark Beetle Review
- Are you concerned about bark beetle infestation? Fall is a good time to inspect for signs before they become active in June/July.
- EPOA has hired the Colorado State Forest Service to do a tree inspection on our common areas to determine if we have any bark beetle infestation.
- Two publication links are below regarding information about Bark Beetles as well as signs you should look for if you inspect the trees on your property.
- If you have concerns and want an expert opinion and inspection you can contact the Colorado State Forest Service. They will come and inspect the trees on your private lot.
