If you see one of these on a tree it maybe a pheromones package left from a baiting program run some years  ago to draw Mountain pine beetle into an area already ravaged by them.

Iron mountain was visibly red with dead timber at the time it bears no red of dead now. However we are in a drought and our small community is coping well with it although human intervention pales in comparison to natures timing we do seasonably well here in Merritt. The Nicola Lake dam on the river going through the city brings comfort to us here as it is another well managed human intervention.
