Forest Health Protection
• Based in Juneau, Anchorage, Fairbanks
• Program is essentially divided into three parts: – Entomology – Pathology – Invasive weeds
• Provide survey and monitoring information, and technical and financial assistance, to Federal, State, Tribal and private land managers so they can prevent, suppress, and control outbreaks of forest pests.

Bark Beetles
![Page 7: Forests Pests of Alaskaleoimages.blob.core.windows.net/hubfiles/ALASKA/63... · Forest Health Protection • Based in Juneau, Anchorage, Fairbanks • Program is essentially divided](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042810/5f9e3abc79945143f475f74f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Spruce Beetle
• Dendroctonus rufipennis • Hosts: Lutz, white, Sitka,
occasionally black spruce. • Two-year life cycle, however one-
year with warm climate. • One square foot of bark can hold
more than 100 beetles • Generally attack the mid- to lower
bole of the tree resulting in discoloration of the full crown of the tree.
• Prefer the sides and bottoms of downed trees

Engraver Beetle
• Ips spp. • Hosts: Spruce • Prefer open grown, small-
diameter trees • Prefer sunnier and drier
host material • Attack mid-bole: damage
appears in the top of the tree first
• Warm dry summers + mild winters = outbreak conditions

Beetles and Fire
• Wildfires are often proceeded by outbreaks of bark and woodborers
• Spruce beetle and Engraver beetles will take advantage of weekend trees on the edge of the burned area
• Some respond specifically to burned material
![Page 16: Forests Pests of Alaskaleoimages.blob.core.windows.net/hubfiles/ALASKA/63... · Forest Health Protection • Based in Juneau, Anchorage, Fairbanks • Program is essentially divided](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042810/5f9e3abc79945143f475f74f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Melanophila
• Possess infrared receptors

• Between 1947 and 1955 over 100,000 acres of trees killed
• Stands varied from 10% trees killed to 50%
• Moths were so numerous between Juneau and Petersburg they created a flying nuisance
• Populations crashed almost as quickly as they appeared

What to do when you find damage
• Photographs!
– Close up of the feeding damage
– Close up of the insect (if there)
– Zoomed out picture of the entire tree
– Picture of the area
– Geotag pictures (if possible)
– Record date and location (if not digital recorded)

What to do when you find damage
• Collections! – Always Record Date and Location (GPS preferred)
– Place insects in container • Old prescription bottles work great
• Baby food jars
– Branch samples • Collect foliage with damage
• Place in ziplock bag with moist paper towels
• Store in refrigerator until able to ship
• Notify us BEFORE shipping to ensure there is someone available to receive

Ground
• Close-up picture
• Can collect specimens
• Specific agent ID possible
• Cost per acre is high
• Small coverage areas
• Limited to what we can see or walk to
• Cost per day is low
Aerial
• Big picture-Large area
• Rapid size-up of situation
• Agent is often generalized
• Cost per acre is low
• Weather
• Visibility
• Scheduling/Phenology
• Aircraft Availability
