Jill's Property in Grand County, Colorado.
Jill lives in Grand County, Colorado. Her property is flat and, early in the 2000s, had a
thick stand of Lodge Pole Pines from the house to the road. By the
time Dr. Jim Conroy, The Tree Whisperer, arrived, some trees had been
cut down and others were showing signs of decline or reddening.
There were many trees that showed life and he went to work on them.
We have identified several areas to watch.
- The "Beacon" tree and one near it called "Young Ranger."
- A group of five trees behind the Beacon Tree.
- Another pair of trees on the other side of the house, near the garage.
- A "Sentry" tree on the property line to the East.
By scrolling from top to bottom of this page, you will see the progression of treatments from 2007 through 2011. You will see excellent new growth and high survival rates even with yearly Beetle hits.
For a detailed explanation of Dr. Jim's findings, please go to the Colorado Pines main page.

Dear Dr. Jim and Basia,
I can't thank you enough for the incredible work you have done with our trees over these last 2 years. It truly amazes me to walk around the yard and see how healthy it looks, especially in comparison to many of the neighbors' yards and to how it looked before you started working your magic here.
The tree you chose to work with looked like it was going to die 2 years ago and now it has so much new growth, looks vibrant and healthy, and has no brown at all anymore.
The mountain pine beetle has been a problem here in Colorado for almost a decade now, and Grand County has been one of the hardest hit of all the counties in Colorado. It has been very sad to watch our hillsides turn brown and to know that the fire danger is extremely high alot of the time.
Those of us whose lives and trees you've touched are so grateful for your work and we know that you are making a really big difference, even if it's one tree at a time or one community of trees at a time. The problem is enormous here in Grand County but the work you do is giving us some sense of hopefulness and joy over the new and healthier growth.
Again, I want to express my gratitude to both of you for the wonderful work you do.
Sincerely, Jill

"Beacon" Tree and "Young Ranger".Both of these trees as well as the others on the property were initially treated with Dr. Jim Conroy's holistic healing system for trees called The Green Centrics System in November of 2007. The photo on the right was taken in November of 2007 and is labeled. The photo below was taken on the 4th trip made to this area: June of 2009. There are 20 months between these photos. Even though Jill lost some trees on her property in that time, these remaining trees are doing well despite being subjected to the same 'beetle fly' as all trees in the area.

"Beacon Tree" and "Young Ranger" in November 2007
|
 |
| November, 2007: Lodge Pole Pine tree called "Beacon Tree" showing the "popcorn" pitch tubes on the trunk. These are signs that the tree was "hit" by Pine Bark Beetles. |
|
|
 |
| November, 2007, the "Beacon Tree's" upper branches show some reddening; often a sign of decline attributed to the Pine Bark Beetles. However, this tree has plenty of life left in it and should not be cut down. |
|
|
| Young Ranger: November, 2007 Here are 2 views of the tree called "Young Ranger". It is a young Lodge Pole Pine within about 15 feet of the Beacon Tree. Another tree behind "Young Ranger" is showing signs of reddening.
"Ranger" is an interesting tree because it is young and still received Pine Bark Beetle 'hits' in its lifetime. Its trunk will be damaged in the course of this test-trail. Cutting and scuffing damage destroys xylem and phloem cells; thereby compromising circulation.
It was believed that young Lodgepole Pine trees would not be hit by the beetle because it was expected that they were healthy. However, Dr. Jim believes that the overall weakness of the forests due to multiple abiotic (non-living) stress factors means that young trees are also weak. When weak, any tree––young or mature––will attract the Beetles and get 'hit.'

"Beacon Tree" and "Young Ranger" in May, 2008
|
 |
| This is an up angle to see that the top of the Beacon Tree is still looking green. It has come through winter in good shape. The reddening in the canopy that was seen in November of 2007 is lessening. There is a tree behind it that has some reddening. . |

October, 2008 - "Beacon Tree" and "Young Ranger"
Notice that the reddening that was showing on Beacon Tree November of 2007 and earlier in the year is lessening. Particular branches may be dying, but the overall tree is surviving.
It shows good green growth even after the Beetle fly of July 2008. Considering that this is October, the tree looks excellent and is being prepared by Dr. Jim to withstand the stress of the upcoming winter.

"Beacon Tree" and "Young Ranger" in June of 2009
|
 |
| ****June, 2009****"Beacon Tree" receiving healing treatment from The Tree Whisperer, Dr. Jim Conroy. See "Young Ranger" Lodge Pole Pine Tree about 10 feet behind him, on the right side of the photo near the building. Despite losses over the previous 20 months since the first treatment (and the initial photos at the top of this page) these trees and others in the photo and on the property are thriving. |
|
|
 |
| ****June, 2009****The "Beacon Tree's" upper branches look green and show 2-5 inch "candles" of new growth about to open. Lower branches that had come reddening in 2007 and 2008 may have died but the rest of the tree is becoming healthier. |

"Beacon Tree" and "Young Ranger" in June of 2010Typically, Lodgepole Pine trees that have been "hit" by successive years of Pine Bark Beetle infestations are expected to die. The common advice is that they should be cut down because they will die. But not these trees.
Look at Beacon and Ranger in 2010. They show "pitch hole" signs of a few Beetle hits as well as exit holes, but their inner functionality is being restored through successive bioenergy healing treatments by Dr. Jim. As their circulation and other systems are strengthening, they are able to withstand some Beetle hits. Dr. Jim also believes that healthy, stronger trees naturally resist insects and diseases.

 |
| June 2011, Beacon's trunk close up shows remnants of a few Beetle hits but is mostly clear. Dr. Jim feels that this indicates that the tree was sufficiently healthy in the previous year that the Beetles avoided it in favor of weaker trees. |

"Ranger" is an interesting tree because it is young and still received Pine Bark Beetle 'hits' in its lifetime. Its trunk was also damaged several years ago. The cutting and scuffing damage destroys xylem and phloem cells; thereby compromising circulation.
It was believed that young Lodgepole Pine trees would not be hit by the beetle because it was expected that they were healthy. However, Dr. Jim believes that the overall weakness of the forests due to multiple abiotic (non-living) stress factors means that young trees are also weak. When weak, any tree––young or mature––will attract the Beetles and get 'hit.'
But, this young tree is surviving not only Beetle hits but also mechanical damage done at its base.
This young tree is becoming stronger, we believe because of the bioenergy healing treatments from Dr. Jim's use of the Green Centrics system and Co-Existence Technologies.

Other trees on Jill's propertyWhen most people see a tree-trunk and canopy, they call that "a tree." It is thought that when tree's roots touch and intermingle the trees give some benefit to one another. While this is true, Dr. Jim says that tree community goes far beyond that and includes trees whose roots are too far apart to touch. Dr. Jim says "the community is the tree."
Trees communicate with one another through their bioenergy fields and other aspects of vibration. They "sing" to each other. Same species trees have a certain "song." Neighboring trees may have a similar "song" so another level of community can exist in an area.
Native Americans have explained to Dr. Jim that they dance in rituals and festivals by hearing the trees' song.
So, when Dr. Jim puts his hands on a particular tree-trunk to perform a healing bioenergy treatment, that treatment can be spread through a community of trees through their "song."
While performing the Green Centrics and Co-Existence Technologies treatments, Dr. Jim walks the entire property to assist with the spreading of his treatments. Thus, other LodgePole Pine trees on Jill's property benefited as much as Beacon and Ranger shown above.
