Insect Survey Due On State Forest Lands Staff personnel from the State Forestry Department and the U. S. Forest Service were to be g'n on Monday, July 7, their an nual cooperative aerial survey of insect damage to Oregon's for- e.'-tlands. The survey will take approx imately a month, according to Insect and Disease Forester Mike Vandehey, and will involve a State Forestry single-engine aircraft and a plane from the U. S. Forest Service, each carrv ing a pilot and two observers. Up until this year, the survey has oeen conducted using one plane he added. One of the main rea sons for using two planes is to speed up the survey so its re sults can be more auicklv dis tributed to the districts. The survey will cover all for ested land in Oregon. It has served since 1950 as an effect ive means of keeping track of trends in insect population. On a clear day, observers can spot damage up to three miles on either side of the aircraft.. By observing the kind of damage that occurs, the species of trees and the ground elevation, the observer can make an educated guess as to the particular cul prit responsible for the damage, Vandehey says. Infested areas are mapped, and maps are provided to the districts and to industry. Vande hey says ground checks are made when observers are not able to identify the insect spec ies from the air, or when a new or large infestation is sighted. "Sometimes we have ground checked where we thought a certain insect was damaging trees and find there were two or three kinds of insects involv ed," he said. These surveys serve as a ba sis for adjusting management plans. For some infestations there are no Dractical means of control. In this case, Vandehey says, the damaged trees can fre quently be salvaged by logging. State Forestry Pilot Bob Frank lin says the surveys are flown at elevations of 800 to 1000 feet above the trees and speeds of 120 to 130 miles per hour. This year the state will be zoned into sectors and divided up. part being done by the State and part bv the U. S. Forest Ser vice.
