"The forests must be, and will be, not only preserved but used, and the experience of all civilized countries that have faced and solved the question show that the forests, like perennial fountains, may be made to yield a sure harvest of timber while at the same time all their far-reaching beneficent uses may be maintained unimpaired."
John Muir, 1895
Pest Alert!
A new insect, the Goldspotted Oak Borer is attacking oaks in southern California. While the infestation has been limited to San Diego County so far, it has the potential to decimate oaks throughout the state. The most vulnerable oaks are Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia), Canyon Live Oak (Quercus chrysolepsis) and California Black Oak (Quercus kelloggii). More information about detection, reporting, management and resources can be found at http://ucanr.org/sites/gsobinfo/
