Several years ago there were news reports of pine beetles attacking pitch pines in the southern parts of our Pine Barrens. I was very worried. But they seem to have died out. At any rate we didn't lose hundreds or thousands of acres of pine as I thought we might. In fact when I drive to the far southern parts of the Pine Barrens, I'm hard pressed to find dead pine trees. Either the beetles hit very small areas, or just some individual trees. We got lucky I guess.
