MPBI supports research to study the impact of the current infestation and
reduce the risk of future outbreaks, and provides technical and funding
assistance to rehabilitate forestlands.
Through various programs, MPBI makes funds available to help control
the spread of mountain pine beetles and salvage valuable wood from
infested trees.
Programs complement measures taken by the Province
of British Columbia to manage the infestation on provincial Crown land.
Partners include federal and provincial government agencies, national
forest sector research institutes, First Nations, academic institutions,
industry
and private landowners.
MPBI is administered from the Pacific
Forestry Centre,
Canadian Forest Service, Natural Resources Canada. |
