tree damage
Continued from page 1
Affairs Officer, said that 249
acres are being treated, with
2,500 trees being felled or
pruned. It is estimated that
900,000 board feet of timber
will be sold. Trees in camp-
ground areas will not be
worked on until fall.
The project is expected to
continue into early next year.
<They have removed
approximately 250,000 board
feet to date,= Nelson-Dean
said.
She said that translates to
about 60 log truck loads from
the first 50 acres of the proj-
ect area.
The temporary trail clo-
sures have mostly ended. The
Blue Bay Trail was reopened
last month, and the Dark
Lake closure is expected to
end Wednesday. However,
the 600 Road east of Dark
Lake will be closed for the
next two weeks.
The Suttle Lake area has
been the subject of mistle-
toe control efforts for many
years.
Brent Oblinger, Forest
Pathologist for the Forest
Service, said, <There was
some Douglas fir pruning in
the Suttle Lake area in the fall
of 1999. Since then, the trees
started putting on healthy
tops.=

Oblinger added, <There
are at least seven different
species of dwarf mistletoe in
the Sisters Ranger District
that are species-specific to
host trees.=
He explained that where
infected trees are removed,
replanting will be undertaken
with tree species that are not
susceptible to attack from the
local mistletoe infestation.
In a prepared statement, he
said, <No larch dwarf mistle-
toe was observed on any larch
in the project area. Ponderosa
pine and western larch are
planned to be planted because
they are tolerant or relatively
resistant to Armillaria root
disease and other root and
stem decays present in the
project area as well. No other
dwarf mistletoes are present
in the project area that can
infect western white pine,
ponderosa pine and western
larch&.=
As noted along the Three
Creek Lake Road, however,
ponderosa pine has its own
mistletoe nemesis.
<Western dwarf mistletoe
is very common on ponder-
osa pine in the Sisters Ranger
District,= Oblinger said.
<The Melvin Butte Project
involved pruning and thin-
ning from 2016 to 2019.=
That project was farther
south on the Three Creek
Lake Road, and much of the
pruning was accomplished
by the Youth Conservation
Corps.
Under certain conditions,
dwarf mistletoe can also
affect forest fire behavior.
Heavy concentrations of the
parasite often form on the low
hanging branches of trees,
with the heavy clusters form-
ing growths called <witches
brooms.= These clusters, with
their dense structure also tend
to snag dead, falling pine nee-
dles and other forest debris.
This collection of combus-
tible material exacerbates the
already-flammable nature of
these clusters and creates lad-
der fuels that can cause a fire
to spread upward into the tree
crown.
Studies have shown that
trees heavily infested with
mistletoe are more than twice
as likely as healthy trees to
die in a fire. Further, burning
witches brooms can act like
fire bombs when they break
free and fall. On steep slopes,
they have even been known
to roll downhill like flaming
tumbleweeds, further spread-
ing a fire.
<Dwarf mistletoe has been
around for 35 million years,
evolving along with its coni-
fer hosts,= Oblinger noted.
As a result, control of the
parasite will undoubtedly
continue to be a focus of for-
est management and planning
in the Sisters area for many
more years to come.
