Caption: Southern Pine Beetle Interpretive Sign
Additional Description: Southern pine beetles play an important role in plant succession. Mature pines grew in this area until pine beetle larvae destroyed the food-carrying capacity of the trees. Some trees survive, but most die and are replaced by hardwoods as a natural process in the endless struggle and competition between pines and hardwoods for survival.
