Event Description

Rob Progar, Ph.D. Research Entomologist, Pacific NW Research Station

Chris Fettig, Ph.D. Research Entomologist, Team Leader, Pacific SW Research Station with contributions from (Retired) USFS, Steve Munson

The last outbreak of mountain pine beetle affected more than 27 million hectares of forest in western North America. This outbreak enabled further development of the semiochemical verbenone, a compound discovered in the late 1960’s that is the antiaggregant for mountain pine beetle. Verbenone sends the signal “this tree is unsuitable for further colonization and to seek another host”. We will discuss recent research to further develop verbenone as a management tool for mountain pine beetle and new products resulting from this work.

Here's a hypothetical question (hopefully). If an ash stand no longer has sufficient density to qualify for the 480a program following ash borer invasion, and if that stand is necessary for having more than 50 acres for the program, what happens?…Continue

I have a section on my property approximately 5 acres with mature oak and maples 18 to 20 inches, well spaced, but the understory is a combination of beech and ferns. I have cut some beech and sprayed some the ferns with mediocre success. I do not…Continue

Smart phones have GPS. Has anyone figured out how to use them for mapping wooded land. I am especially interested in a way to map my logging trails. Jim MartinContinue
