Date Creek FSR
Typical forest service road in the Kispiox. Note the infected pine along the road.

Muldoe FSR
Line of infected pine. Note the extent of defoliation.

Walking into Muldoe
Trees are so severely defoliated you can gaze straight through the canopy.

Atypical Severity
In this stand of ~50 yr pine we see intense disease severity - atypical of older pine.

Young Infected Pine
First year needles show some resistance to the fungus, hence the appearance of green mittens.

Spore Trapping Trial
A simple approach to monitoring spore production and release.
