[Leica] OT: Bark-Beetles

[Philippe]

Some of our trees lining the park died within a week in the course of the summer. Hot temps (global warming?) didn’t help as the beetles could proliferate quickly.
Yesterday saw a big change in our landscape … A friend and his old but worthy tractor came to help me.

The next step? Extending the fence to keep the wild boars at bay …
