<strong>Land</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>Part</strong> 2<br />

<strong>Los</strong> <strong>Padres</strong> <strong>National</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Strategy</strong><br />

FH 4 - Insect and Disease <strong>Management</strong><br />

September 2005<br />

Protect natural resource values at risk due to insect or disease loss at levels outside of the desired<br />

range of variability or where needed to improve habitat:<br />

• Thin conifer stands to prevent water stress and damage by bark beetles.<br />

• Report unusual mortality of vegetation promptly to the staff responsible for forest health<br />

protection. <strong>Forest</strong> health protection investigates detection reports and coordinates funding<br />

requests from the national forest<br />

for pest suppression and prevention projects.<br />

• Consider desired pest management suppression projects when economically<br />

viable, such as<br />

suppression of dwarf mistletoe in high value trees at developed<br />

recreation sites.<br />
