Approximately 300 acres are known to be infected in Genesee from sites as small as a single tree to the largest compromising 90 acres. This acreage represents more than 25% of our Ponderosa pine covered lands and directly affects more than 300 residences. Neighboring pines along 1.3 miles of our common borders are also infected. Most of our infected areas were mapped with detailed descriptions and prescriptions were provided to us by the Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) in 1985. An updated map was completed last year showing the spread over the past 20 years. .

Current efforts underway include identifying treatment areas, writing prescriptions and treatment in selected areas this coming fall. Prescriptions in open space will include removal, containment, isolation and pruning of infected trees.
