DAVID GONZALES and LYNSEY DYER – TREEFIGHT
Skiing in the trees near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, David Gonzales saw firsthand how the pine beetle was attacking and killing the forests in Grand Teton National Forest. In response, he started Treefight and enlisted folk, including pro skier Lynsey Dyer, to repel this dreaded invader. The solution: Create a network of hikers to go deep into the forest to protect the trees by stapling packets of pheromones to them.
