    My area lies in the Cascade Mountain range and is heavily forested.  As the years of drought and low snow pack add up, the health of the forests is threatened by insect infestation and forest fires.  In fact one careless spark has destroyed 50,000 acres of 100 year old forest two years ago.I was appreciating a large deciduous tree out my window...
