Excerpt from Development of a Blister Rust Control Policy for the National Forests in the Inland Empire
Public agencies in the Inland Empire have been fighting the blister rust disease of white pine for more than two decades. Control of the disease has been expensive but it has seemed justified. However, during recent years, the rising spiral of costs, which today is plaguing all activities in the United States, has raised anew the question of justifiability. How far should we go, how much money should we spend, in protecting the Inland Empire white pine from this disease?

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the complexities of controlling White Pine Blister Rust in the Inland Empire, a region encompassing parts of three states whose forests are vital to the national timber supply. Blister Rust is caused by an invasive fungus that can decimate entire stands of pine trees, and the author delves into the history of its presence in the region. The author explains how the fungus' properties and spread created challenges for the crews tasked with preventing its spread across millions of acres of forest. Complicating their goal was the presence of other tree species in the same region, which presented challenges to eradicating the fungus without harming other parts of the ecosystem. The book explores the tension between preserving timber resources, protecting the environment, and the economic realities of forest management in the region. The author recognizes both the controversy surrounding such measures and the significant ecological stakes involved. Rigorously researched and featuring rare insights from those on the frontlines of this fight, this book is an insightful and engaging account of environmental management in the United States.
