2017 Aerial detection survey for Acadia National Park
Carpenter CA. 2017. To: Schneider K. Re: 2017 Aerial detection survey for Acadia National Park
From the letter: "The US Forest Service, Forest Health Protection staff completed the 2017 aerial detection survey for Acadia National Park on June 12, 2017. 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 434 acres of damage were mapped throughout, and adjacent to the park. This is down from the 5,147 acres mapped in 2016. Approximately 303 acres were mapped as white pine needle damage and 131 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 and appeared less apparent than in previous years."
