Mountain Pine Beetle Action Plan


Restoring Forest Resources in Affected Areas

Extensive mountain pine beetle attack in some management units will result in a “gap” in the supply of mature timber 20-60 years in the future. Although this can’t be completely avoided, measures are being taken to reduce the negative impacts. While accelerated salvage harvesting takes place, reforestation and restoration activities are being carried out with an awareness of climate trends and long-term risks.
