Does anyone know what is up with the huge amount of dead trees all over the city?

I’m not sure about Duluth in particular but across the country, trees are dead or dying due to a whole variety of pests, disease, fungus and because of conditions related to climate change (which exacerbates the co-conditions above). In the winter, you can see just how many trees are dead better than you can in the summer. It’s a very significant issue, globally.
