In addition, Yakama tribal members provided information and direction that was critical to the preparation of this Forest Management Plan. Achievement of their goals, desires, and visions for the future of the Yakama Forest was the basis for the development of the management directions in this document. The leadership and advice of the Yakama Tribal Council, General Council Officers, the Yakama Agency Forest Manager, and the Yakama Agency Superintendent were significant to the development of the FMP. Particularly noteworthy was the assistance and encouragement provided by the Chairman and members of the Tribal Council Timber, Grazing, Overall Economic Development Committee. September 2005 v Forest Management Plan Preface Preface This Forest Management Plan (FMP) for the Yakama Reservation was developed in coordination with the Yakama Nation to direct the management of the Yakama Nation’s forest and woodlands. The FMP was also prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 25, Indians, Title 40, Protection of Environment, and Indian Affairs Manual (IAM) Part 53, Forestry. The FMP represents the implementation of Alternative 4 from the Environmental Assessment for the FMP, as identified and adopted by Yakama Tribal Council Resolutions T-021-04 and T-159-05. The FMP will be reviewed periodically, and amended, revised, or replaced as necessary.

  • Macrolepidoptera Inventory of the Chilcotin District
    Macrolepidoptera Inventory of the Chilcotin District Aud I. Fischer – Biologist Jon H. Shepard - Research Scientist and Crispin S. Guppy – Research Scientist January 31, 2000 2 Abstract This study was undertaken to learn more of the distribution, status and habitat requirements of B.C. macrolepidoptera (butterflies and the larger moths), the group of insects given the highest priority by the BC Environment Conservation Center. The study was conducted in the Chilcotin District near Williams Lake and Riske Creek in central B.C. The study area contains a wide variety of habitats, including rare habitat types that elsewhere occur only in the Lillooet-Lytton area of the Fraser Canyon and, in some cases, the Southern Interior. Specimens were collected with light traps and by aerial net. A total of 538 species of macrolepidoptera were identified during the two years of the project, which is 96% of the estimated total number of species in the study area. There were 29,689 specimens collected, and 9,988 records of the number of specimens of each species captured on each date at each sample site. A list of the species recorded from the Chilcotin is provided, with a summary of provincial and global distributions. The habitats, at site series level as TEM mapped, are provided for each sample. A subset of the data was provided to the Ministry of Forests (Research Section, Williams Lake) for use in a Flamulated Owl study. A voucher collection of 2,526 moth and butterfly specimens was deposited in the Royal BC Museum. There were 25 species that are rare in BC, with most known only from the Riske Creek area.

  • Forest Insect Conditions in the United States 1966
    FOREST INSECT CONDITIONS IN THE UNITED STATES 1966 FOREST SERVICE ' U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Foreword This report is the 18th annual account of the scope, severity, and trend of the more important forest insect infestations in the United States, and of the programs undertaken to check resulting damage and loss. It is compiled primarily for managers of public and private forest lands, but has become useful to students and others interested in outbreak trends and in the location and extent of pest populations. The report also makes possible n greater awareness of the insect prob­ lem and of losses to the timber resource. The opening section highlights the more important conditions Nationwide, and each section that pertains to a forest region is prefaced by its own brief summary. Under the Federal Forest Pest Control Act, a sharing by Federal and State Governments the costs of surveys and control is resulting in a stronger program of forest insect and disease detection and evaluation surveys on non-Federal lands. As more States avail themselves of this financial assistance from the Federal Government, damage and loss from forest insects will become less. The screening and testing of nonpersistent pesticides for use in suppressing forest defoliators continued in 1966. The carbamate insecticide Zectran in a pilot study of its effectiveness against the spruce budworm in Montana and Idaho appeared both successful and safe. More extensive 'tests are planned for 1967. Since only the smallest of the spray droplets reach the target, plans call for reducing the spray to a fine mist. The course of the fine spray, resulting from diffusion and atmospheric currents, will be tracked by lidar, a radar-laser combination.

  • Pine Butterfly (Neophasia Menapia) Outbreak in the Malheur National Forest, Blue Mountains, Oregon: Examining Patterns of Defoliation
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Ariadne T. DeMarco for the degree of Master of Science in Sustainable Forest Management presented on March 21, 2014. Title: Pine Butterfly (Neophasia menapia) Outbreak in the Malheur National Forest, Blue Mountains, Oregon: Examining Patterns of Defoliation Abstract approved: David C. Shaw The pine butterfly (Neophasia menapia C. Felder & R. Felder) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) is a relatively host-specific defoliator of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws). From 2008 to 2012, the Malheur National Forest was subject to an outbreak of pine butterfly in ponderosa pine, peaking at ~100,000 ha of forest visibly defoliated in 2011. Silvicultural- based management guidelines have been used to manage stand resilience to other insect defoliators, but guidelines specific to the pine butterfly are currently lacking. The goal of this study is to examine pine butterfly defoliation patterns to relate stand and tree structure characteristics to inform management guidelines. I randomly sampled 25 stands within ponderosa pine forests delineated as heavily defoliated in 2011 by annual forest health aerial surveys. Within each stand I randomly located three transect plots, 10 x 40m, and measured diameter at breast height (DBH), height, and estimated defoliation for the entirety of all trees > 5cm DBH. Data was analyzed using linear mixed effects models to account for all other determinants of defoliation before measuring variables under study. Defoliation averaged 67% for all trees. Stand density index, stand structure, tree crown class, and level within a tree canopy demonstrated no meaningful effects on mean defoliation. I infer from these results that defoliation levels during pine butterfly outbreaks are not influenced by structural or crown characteristics; virtually all available foliage is consumed in these single host-species stands (though note that ~10% of trees studied showed <50% defoliation levels).

  • Northern Species As Erebia Discoidalis, Agriades Glandon and Cartero
    1964 JOI1Trlal of the Lepidopteristl.' Society 217 BUTTERFLIES OF YAKIMA COUNTY, WASHINGTON by E. J. NEWCOMER 1509 Summitview, Yakima, Washington Yakima County, 'Washington, is rather unique as an area for the study of butterflies. It is quite large, 4,273 square miles, and it encompasses every life zone from Arctic-alpine to Upper Sonoran. The elevation ranges from over 12,000 feet on Mt. Adams to 500 feet at the Columbia River. Annual precipitation ranges from 60 inches or more in the mountains to about 6 inches at the Columbia River.1 The physiographic diversity results in a wide variety of vegetation, from stunted conifers, low shrubs and fields of wild flowers at timber line down through the heavy growths of white pine and fir, open yellow-pine forests, a belt of oaks (Quercus garryana) , and on down to open fields and dry desert characterized by sage-brush, greasewood, hop sage and a few early annuals. The floral range enables a large number of species of butterflies. It brings together in one county such northern species as Erebia discoidalis, Agriades glandon and Cartero­ cephalus palaemon with southern species such as Apodemia mormo and Heliopetes ericetorum. Of about 130 species that have been recorded in Washington, at least 103 occur in Yakima County. These facts have made it worth while to study the butterflies of this county intensively, which I have done for seven years. I also had taken a few notes on species seen in the 1920's; and the Rev. A. I. Good collected in the county in 1955-56, and he has very kindly given me copies of his records.
