Dead whitebark pine trees at 8.500 feet in the Viapong Park area of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest in Montana. The trees were killed by mountain pine beetles that are thriving due to climate change and warmer winters. The seeds from the cones of whitebark pines are an important food source for grizzly bears.
