Western Forestry / Beetle Dynamics and Aspen
• Brief Discussion of the Western Conifer Forest and the Quaking Aspen Forest
• Current Conditions of the Conifer Forests• Current Condition of the Aspen Cover• Frequently Asked Questions• As a Real Estate Broker - What to Look For?• What does Firewise do?

Bark Beetles – Why?
![Page 6: Firewise Live Water Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55545e4fb4c905a5798b47d9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Conifer Forests Life Cycles
• Lodgepole Pine Example– Pioneers– Sun, Water, Nutrients– Semi-Serotinous Cones– Competition Creates Canopy– Canopy Creates a Shady Understory – Shady Understory Provides Habitat to Shade
Friendly Conifers
![Page 7: Firewise Live Water Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55545e4fb4c905a5798b47d9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Lodgepole Pine Forest Example
• Sub Alpine Fir, Engelmann Spruce, Colorado Spruce, Douglas Fir Grow Underneath the Lodgepole
• They Outcompete the Lodgepole and Stress the Lodgepole Forest
• In order to combat this competition there is a fire. Serotinous cones open and spread seed across a blank canvas because the fire took all competition away
• Start All Over Again

Disturbance - Fire
![Page 9: Firewise Live Water Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55545e4fb4c905a5798b47d9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Disturbance - Fire
![Page 10: Firewise Live Water Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55545e4fb4c905a5798b47d9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
No Fire
• There is an incredibly dense forest. • Lots of Competition• Lodgepole Forest Needs a Disturbance• The Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB) has
physiologically evolved with the Lodgepole, Ponderosa, Limber and Whitebark Forests of the West
• The MPB plays the role of the fire. Opens up the forest. Reduces competion.

Beetles Relationship
• Natural Disturbance• Crude But Effective Way of Opening Up the
Forest and Reducing Competition

Attack Process and Life Cycle
• D. menziessii (Doug Fir Beetle) – Elevation and Climate Based Flight (April)
• D. rufipennis (Spruce Beetle) (May)• D. ponderosae (MPB) (July-Aug)
• Bell Shaped Flight Pattern

Attack Process and Life Cycle

Preventative Spray
•Small Acre Areas – Areas Surrounding Homes
•Works Very Well to Prevent New Beetle Attacks
•Gets the good insects with the bad insects

Treatment - Pheromone
• Pheromone Manipulation – First Remove Currently Infested
![Page 16: Firewise Live Water Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55545e4fb4c905a5798b47d9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Treatment - Infrastructure
Logging is an intensive form of management. A good option for opening access to the property, as well as a revenue producer.

Treatment–No Infrastructure
•Using a machine like this requires no installation of roads because there is no extraction. It can be considered a lighter alternative to logging.

Habitat
• Play the role of a fire without having the fire• Open up the forest, promote objective species,
reduce competition• Get more light and temperature to the forest
floor • Elk
– 65% of diet grasses and grass like plants– 26% browse– Within 100 yards of cover
![Page 19: Firewise Live Water Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55545e4fb4c905a5798b47d9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Elk Habitat
•Forage, Cover, Water, and their Arrangement on the Landscape Influence Habitat

Aspen
![Page 21: Firewise Live Water Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55545e4fb4c905a5798b47d9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Aspen
• Fire Exclusion Results in Decadent Aspen Stands
• Regenerate Aspen• Great Habitat Enhancement
– Hunting Ranches– Cattle Ranches– Fire Protection

Revenues and Grants
• Revenues Go to Covering Costs to Forest Treatment
• Firewise Sources and Writes Grants through a number of Different Funding Sources
• Grants and Revenues Can Cover the Entire Cost of Projects

Resource Management
• No Conflict of Interest• Biomass Utilization Markets• Traditional Markets
