Pine Beetle Problem Affects Summit County's Real Estate

But Realtors are working on it.

I represent our Association on the Mountain Pine Beetle Task Force.  The organization, which meets in Frisco, Summit County, regularly, is the most active in the Colorado mountain communities.  At our last meeting, I shared draft language that we are planning to put into a residential disclosure form about the pine beetle problem.  As a result, the following happened:

1.                   The Task Force secretary submitted a summary to the Summit Daily News, and it was in the paper the next day.

2.                   The Denver Post picked up on it and called for an interview.  It hit the front page yesterday morning.

3.                   CBS Channel 4 News picked up on that story and called for an interview.  It was on the air last night.  Link is below with comments from the reporter, Andrea Lopez.

4.                   Associated Press send it out nationally, and another article was in our local paper today.  

Full circle. 

============================

The title’s not exactly accurate but I hope you like the story.  Thanks for talking to us about it I think it’s a great issue to address.  Maybe sometime I”ll research a piece on just all of the other types of trees you can plant up here that are beetle-resistant! andrea
