Forest Health. A variety of insects and diseases occur naturally in the forests of the BLCF (Table 8). Table 9 shows the ranking of pest species by potential impact on forest management within the Xxxxxx Forest District. The incidence and level of endemic activity is often higher in mature stands.

Small patch sanitation and pheromone baiting was used. This problem subsided somewhat since, but provincial data shows higher numbers of spruce bark beetle in 2014 and 2015. There are currently a few scattered areas of spruce bark beetle in the Boer Mountain area. 23 Ranking of pest species updated through personal communication with Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Silviculture ...

Forest Health. During the field verification, a team evaluated the current state of the forest health in the FHP area, as outlined in Section 10.1 of the OGRs. If any sites are identified post submission, Alberta-Pacific and Xxxxxxxxxx will take the appropriate action to protect these sites as per Section 10.1.2 of the OGRs.
