Here at the Traveler we've written quite a bit about mountain pine beetle attacks on forests in the Rockies, as well as wilderness issues. Well, over at the Rocky Mountain Nation Podcast you can listen to similar stories.

Regarding mountain pine beetles in Rocky Mountain National Park, reporter/producer Aaron Deschane discusses mitigation work being done by a private contractor.

Mr. Deschane also recently produced a podcast on the designation of wilderness in Rocky Mountain. You can listen to that report by clicking here.
