Short Description of Activity
Kathleen learned about:
White pine blister rust in a changing climate: investigating complex interactions to develop strategies to restore and sustain mountain-top ecosystems, presented by Anna Schoettle

Reflection/Evaluation
The white pine blister rust affects white bark pine in our region. This iconic species of our high elevation forest has not only intrinsic value for its beauty, but is also an important food source for many animals, including Clark’s Nutcracker and the Grizzly Bear.
