Description:
Windthrow occurred during late April on the Glacier View, Hungry
Horse, Spotted Bear, and Swan Lake Ranger Districts, Flathead
National Forest. An evaluation to determine potential for development
of spruce beetle and Douglas-fir beetle outbreaks was made
during late June and early July. All areas examined were classed
as having low or medium potential for outbreak development. Salvage
logging is recommended to further reduce outbreak potential.
