Trees To Be Sprayed for Beetles at Lake Como

The Bitterroot National Forest will begin spraying trees in popular campgrounds and high-use recreation areas this week with Carbaryl, to protect them from the mountain pine beetle.  The first area to be treated will be the Lake Como Recreation Area on the Darby Ranger District.  Weather depending, the spraying could begin as early as this Wednesday in the campgrounds and day-use sites around Lake Como. I spoke with Bitterroot National Forest spokesman Todd McKay about the spraying..that interview is attached.McKay says the campgrounds where the trees will be sprayed will be closed for a short time.
