According to the local paper, the "worse case scenario" of draught just keeps getting worse. If the trees were healthier they would be more "immune" to the pine beetles, but in their current dehydrated, weakened state they are easy game for them. And as a result of so many dead and dry forests we now have more and more forest fires every year.

I have this problem now. But the reforestation is natural. No pine beetles, but some kind of boring bug that gets into my fuel trees.
