European Bark Beetle Apocalypse Explained

What is a European forest "supposed" to look like? That question is up for debate now in Europe in part because of HUGE die-offs from the spruce bark beetle. We look here at the problem and how re-evaluating the forest myths might help us move forward!

If you're in Europe, this one will probably hit home. If you're everywhere else in the world, maybe you'll learn something from it that you can take back to your neck of the woods.
