Forest pestology and its role

This weekly col-
‘umn is written by
-members of the for-

est resources depart-

-ment at Selkirk Col-
lege, on current top-
jes in resource man-
agement.

: Forest Pestology
Forest pestology in-
volves detection of pests and
managing forests to prevent
or minimize pest losses,
Pests we are concerned
y about include insects, dis-
eases caused by fungi, and
*. unusual growing conditions
: for trees.
In this article we will
i: look at examples of impor-
tant pests, especially some
- near Castlegar, and point out
, some methods that forest
+ managers and workers use to
control them.
é Pestology taught at Sel-
¢ kirk College emphasizes
= training to identify important
=. pest problems, to survey or
:, fneasure their effects, and to
: determine suitable methods
= for control.
Because of the great
variety of insects and dis-
eases that can be found
hroughout the province, few
of us can expect to know all
pests, We rely mostly on the
Canadian Forestry Service
= personnel at the Pacific For-
= est Research Centre in Vie-
toria to identify pest species
and to provide research and
control information.

Most forest workers

need to be able to recognize a
pest occurrence — .dying
trees, reddening leaves,
slowed growth — and to

- collect samples of leaves,
wood or roots to be examined

:, by C.F.S. personnel to iden-
tify the specific pest.

Forest Insect Rangers of

the C.F.S. make regular
: patrols of forests throughout
the province and report pest
< eccurrences to landowners,
: industry and government.
:.They also help train forest
workers to: recognize and

young trees, decay problems
will decrease. A lot of decay
can be avoided by preventing
injuries to trees which cut
through the bark and allow
decay fungi to enter.

The major pest next in
importance is a parasitic
plant called dwarf mistletoe.
Dwarf mistletoe is a “kis-
sing” cousin of leafy mistle-

.toe that is used as a Christ-'

mas decoration.

Dwarf mistletoes grow
on trees — mostly larch in
our area — and drain nutri-
ents for their use that the
tree (the “host") would nor-
mally use for its own growth,
They also cause the tree host
to grow abnormally and pro-
duce massive growths of
branches called witches
brooms,

If you drive from Cas-
telgar towards Grand Forks
on Highway 8, you can see
witches brooms on the larch
trees within a few miles of
Castlegar. Dwarf mist!

young adult beetle. Usually,
they spend the winter in the
bark as young adults, then
emerge, fly to other trees,
and mate.

Attacked trees usually
die and the leaves turn bright
red in the summer following
the attack.

Control of the beetle is
difficult and expensive, Acr-
ial and ground surveys are
run to find dead trees, These
are «xamined and recently
attacked nearby trees are
often cut down and burned to

As it happens

kill the beetles inside.
Usually, attacks by bark
beetles are scattered and
difficult to find. Occasionally,
they may attack many trees
in one area, Drought that
weakens trees or. large areas
of old trees may lead to a
massive outbreak. Usually,
logging to salvage attacked
trees is the only recourse for
the forest manager. .
Root diseases are the
fourth major pest. As man-
agement of the province's
forests intensifies, we can

Year of the Child

By SHELLEY HANCOCK
Parent Reporter
I attended part of the
special all-day program cel-
ebrating the International
Year of the Child at Winlaw
School recently,

cause a lot of stunted growth
when they attack young
trees. Many attacked young
trees never attain a size large
enough to be used as timber.

Dwarf mistletoe dies
when .its tree is killed.
Mistletoe seeds are not
spread very far, so it can be
eliminated from forest areas
for long periods. Mistletoe
usually grows only on one
tree species in an area, so
that other resistant species
can be grown or cultured ona
site.

A third major pest is
bark beetles. Four bark
beetles cause serious losses,
often in major outbreaks, and
these attack lodgepole pine,
Douglas fir, and spruce. In
our area, mountain pine

beetle is a sporadic pest on’

lodgepole pine.

Older trees, usually
more than 80 years of age,
are attacked in the summer.
The beetle cuts into the bark
and burrows upwards near
the wood layer. It lays eggs
along the tunnel.

Larvae of the beetle
hatch in a few days and
burrow sideways through the
bark-wood layer. They feed
on bark dnd on fungi that are
carried into the burrows by
the adult beetle.

In a few weeks, the
larvae go into a pupal (rest-
ing) state, then grow into a

, identify pest p
Once a pest has been
recognized and identified, we

have to know how
it is. Surveys for important
pests are being developed
and used more and more
commonly. Usually, special
techniques such as aerial
surveying or bark sampling
are used to estimate how
much of a problem there is.

Our information about
the amount of damage or loss

* caused by most pests is
sketchy. Usually, we mea-
sure tree wood volume or
growth to come to an esti-

‘mate of how much has been

+ lost. Tree growth is usually
affected by a lot of other
things such as soil moisture,
nutrients and weather, so the
effect of a pest can easily be
obscured.

What are our most im-
portant pests? Woad decay of
standing trees is the most
important. As trees grow old,
the inner wood often decays
from attack by several fungi.
Little can be done to reduc

And a true cel it was!
The halls were a bustle
of activity; parents. with
special foods for the lunch-
eon, children in costumes and
teachers helping to move the
exciting schedule along, to
share in the merriment. ..

For some weeks now the
students of Winlaw have
focused their attentions on
the children of other coun-
tries; their customs, tradi-
tions and conditions.

For our children, so
fortunate to grow in a
relatively pure environment,
with abundant water and a
caring community, it was a
real eye-opener. We are the
lucky ones. We are in a
position to share, to help.

The students began the
day with a parade through
the gym wearing native
costumes‘from other coun-
tries, waving special I.Y.C,
flags and singing.

There was a delay in the
program at this point which
allowed me to see a dress
rehearsal of the play Carol
Conkin's Grade 3 class would
be presenting later in the
day.

The scene — A school
room with Katie White _as
teacher watching her stu-
dents sing and dance, “I've
been to Harlem, I've been to
Dover, I've travelled this
world all over.”

After recess-we all ga-
thered back in the gym for a
special parent's presentation,
Beth Marzicola narrated
shdes of an orphanage in
Baja,. Calif.. which houses,
feeds, educates and loves
about 90 young children, all
through volunteer work and
donations from religious and
service groups.

Kathy Woodward took
us in another direction, West,
to the Truk Islands in the
Pacific Ocean where a small
child shinnied up a coconut
tree.

After the slides Kathy
shared some of her African

about her childhood in Ger-
many, was formed and led by
Arleen McMillin. “Water”
was the subject, _ without
which we could not live.

.Mrs. Barlow recalled
how she collected rain water
until that turned black, pol-
luted from the industries in
Frankfurt, Germany. As she
spoke, my mind travelled
just across the street, to our
flowing Slocan river, still so
clean, so perfect.

When Lee Lidstone was
asked if she would like to live
in México she said, “I'd like to
live there and learn a differ-
ent language.” Poppy said,
“I'd rather live here because
there's lots more food.”

On to thé International
lunch and all I can say is you
would have had to smell it to
believe it. What a treat; Mr.
Conkin’s room had a table
laid out with peanut soup
from Africa (well, not from
Africa): Mexican enchiladas
made by the Hocks, bannock
(Indian bread), lasagne and
“Schenkenudeln” which is
German ham and noodles.

And Mr. Swanson’s
room was treated to hot,
delicious bagels made by
Stephen and his Mom. There
was borsch, chow mein,
Dutch apple cake and Elea-
nor Hopper’s Irish soda
bread.

Primary classes shared
their feast of Chepatis from

India (thanks’:to -Jagdev), '

Quiche Lorraine from France
made by Youri’s Mom, pizza,

expect more root disease.
Four different fungi attack
the roots of almost all of our
forest trees and can kill
young trees or cause wood
decay (butt rot) of old trees.
Each disease requires extra
effort.to detect and identify
it, ehh

Most of the fungi that
cause root disease live in
dead tree wood in the soil.
They begin their attack when
they contact young tree roots
and grow up to the base of
the tree trunk. Here they

usually girdle the tree, kill.

the bark, and kill the tree.
Single trees or large patches
of trees can be killed.

As trees are attacked,
they usually grow less and
less, the leaves turn yellow,
and then at death, red.
Control is usually very cost-
ly. All infested roots and
wood have to be dug out and
burned. i

Sometimes other tree
species that are not affected

by the disease can be plant- “

ed. Usually, root disease per-
sists in an area and may
cause repeated tree deaths,

These four major pests
show some of the problems a
forester has to contend with.

In addition, other pests — -

such as white pine blister

rust and larch casebearer —_

often spread into our area
and cause serious losses.

We have been fortunate,
to date, that our forests have
a wide variety of tree species.
and ages, and our losses to
pests have been less than in
other regions of the province.
Pests will continue to be
important in our forests, and
we will need to pay even
more attention to them in the
future,

For Mt. Sentinel School,
volleyball ended on a good

note, with both teams at-'

tending the provinclal ‘A’

Although both teams
placed 11th, a' good overall
effort was shown by all. Both

teams showed sportsmanship
as they were .

and class,
narrowly defeated by the
other teams.

Larissa Chernenkoff re-
ceived Horiorable Mention ‘at
the girls’ finals and Rick
Patterson was placed on the
second all-star team at the

boys’ finals. Nadia Chernen- ¢

koff also had a successful
weekend,

Basketball is now under-
way, with both girls and boys
having their first game on
Wednesday of this week. We
hope the teams will rep-
resent the school well all
season.

The Christmas month is
now upon us and the stu-
dents’ council is as busy as
ever.

On Dec. 20 the students’

council is holding a dress-up -

day. The attire will be as
formal as is possible — no
jeans.

The next day, the 2ist, is
Skate Day at the Castlegar
arena. That night is the
Christmas Dance, The band
is yet to be announced,

The Christmas Concert
is now in its final stages of
rehearsal. The program is
geared to the children, with
“Cinderella” as the main pro-
duction, Cinderella is played
by Diane Lamare. The date
will be announced next week.
