Alabama Forestry Commission
SOUTHERN PINE BEETLE REPORT
for
JULY 1999
STATEWIDE (Four Regions)
The Alabama Forestry Commission divides Alabama into 4 regions. Beetle monitoring airplane flights are flown periodically during the summer months and the dates of the latest flights are listed in the tables below. Beetle "spots" (areas of beetle infested, dying pine trees) are recorded on maps and dying trees in each spot are counted. "Beetle Counties" have some infested trees. "Epidemic counties" have at least 2 infested trees per thousand acres of pine timber.Region |
