Colorado Nature Nook #3

Colorado Trees

Juniperus scopulorum, is a species of juniper native to western North America, from southwest Canada to the Great Plains of the United States and small areas of northern Mexico. They are the most widespread of all the New World junipers. They are relatively small trees, occasionally just a large bush or stunted snag. They tend to be found in isolated groves or even as single trees rather than as the dominant tree of a forest. Though they can survive fires, they are quite vulnerable to it and this is one of the factors that can limit their spread into grasslands. They are important to wildlife, providing shelter and food to a range of species from small birds and mammals to deer and bighorn sheep. The primary human use is in landscaping for aesthetic purposes, to shelter habitations, or attract fruit eating birds. Though they are also used in small amounts for their insect repellent and rot resistant wood or as firewood for heating.

What is the common name for this tree? ( Three words starts with "R")

I really like this puzzle series. I can solve them, learn something (although I’ve been able to answer several without internet search) & they’re hidden in places I like to be. A fav point which is very rare for a puzzle cache.

Undeterred by neighboring prairie dog, Geo_Niece and I approached GZ. I had an idea of what we were looking for - but Geo_Niece_Mila found it after a couple rotations. SL TFTC!

It’s been a while since I’ve been in this area. Fun hike in the wind today with estes01. We decided to take the other side of the loop back to the car. Why do I feel like I’m going to be back here again real soon ? TFTC!
