Bad Beetle has destroyed millions of trees on our Colorado forest land

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

As many of you know the last few years the “Bad Beetle” has destroyed millions of trees on our Colorado forest land. No one has ever counted the tree loss really but it is immense.  This caused me to dig back into my memory bank when this happened to some of our forests back in the 80”s .  At that time the word “Green” in our industry did not even exist and there was very little discussion about environmental issues as compared to today.  But, back in the 80’s our company saw the beauty in the beetle kill pine and we used it for cabinets, built-ins, and interior trim.  A leader in beetle kill pine flooring today is T&G Flooring right here in Denver. So if you want the whole story with the facts visit www.tandgflooring.com and then talk to Chris Keale, the owner. And you can also visit him or one of his staff at the Colorado Home Show in booth 515 this weekend. Find out how this flooring is part of Green Building. Just tell them the Beetle sent you.
