Been doing some research, and reading some disturbing data on the pine beetle infestation in western states. In light of a prospective move to Montana, I am curious about the damage this is causing in the state. It has been said that there is a strong potential for all the lodgepole pine in Colorado to be wiped out in the next few years, about 5 million acres worth. How bad is it in Montana, and what, if any, effective measures are being implemented to stop it from getting worse?

It is worst around Helena and Butte. Otherwise, not bad, generally.

The state has website with all the details. It is bad in old lodgepole forests found in Western part of state. Lodgepole thickets benefit from regular harvesting otherwise trees climax out and are susceptible to beetle infestation.
