Watch Colorado Post Art - Uintah by Colorado artist Mitchell Dillman http://ColoradoSpringsSawmill.com for a quick look at the latest wood and metal sculpture to hit the ground in Penrose, Co. 

One in 14 trees are dead in Colorado forests. Whether from wildfire, drought, Beetle Kill or other infestation, Colorado currently has millions upon millions of acres of Dead Standing Timber. The number of gray-brown standing-dead trees has increased 30 percent since 2010 to 834 million. Colorado's mountain pine beetle epidemic killed trees across 3.4 million acres. 

Colorado's Dead Standing Timber is why Mitchell makes Colorado Post Art. 

"Uintah" is a wood and metal sculpture made from locally harvested Black Forest Ponderosa Pine Trees. Uinta is derived from the Ute word Yoov-we-teuh, which means pine tree or pine forest.
