Beth- Like many periodical publications, reliance on a 'grabber' for sales causes them to 'cry wolf'...they did go on to mention the cyclical nature of insect infestations, and the relationship to, hmm, how should I say it, surprisingly small changes in increasing average annual temperatures, which seem to be all it takes these days to give the insects an edge...this same scenario played out in my time on the Kenai Peninsula here in Alaska in the 90's...
There is little one (or many, for that matter) can do, as these are large scale disturbances that throwing money at will be rather ineffective...it's more what we don't do, than what we do. -Don Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2009 06:51:17 -0700 From: [email protected] Subject: [ENTS] Re: Forests fall to beetle outbreak To: [email protected] You know it would be helpful if I would attach a link to the article. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090804/sc_nm/us_usa_forests_beetle_3 Beth Trees are the answer.--bumper sticker from Illinois Forest Association --- On Thu, 8/6/09, Beth Koebel <[email protected]> wrote: From: Beth Koebel <[email protected]> Subject: [ENTS] Forests fall to beetle outbreak To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, August 6, 2009, 8:47 AM ENTS, I saw this article and thought it might interest some of you.
