2015 Aerial detection survey for Acadia National Park
US Forest Service. 2015. To: Steele S. Re: 2015 Aerial detection survey for Acadia National Park
From the letter: "The US Forest Service, Forest Health Protection staff completed the 2015 aerial detection survey for Acadia National Park on June 09, 2015. Attached is a draft map that depicts the areas of damage by damage type (mortality, dieback, discoloration and defoliation), damage causal agent, and forest type. Approximately 470 acres of damage were mapped throughout, and adjacent to the park. Twenty four acres were mapped as light defoliation in the northern hardwood type, 80 acres were mapped as white pine needle damage and 370 acres were mapped as red pine mortality caused by the invasive red pine scale, Matsucoccus matsumurae. The invasive winter moth was again detected defoliating hardwoods along the Maine coast south of the park but was not detected within Acadia National Park."
