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 />
