Wood Borer in the Columbia Valley!

We are monitoring a new forest health concern in the Columbia Valley this spring! A wood borer insect has been wreaking havoc on drought stricken trees from Radium south to the Cranbrook area. While these menacing bugs aren’t a new thing in our region, it is very unusual for them to be attacking and killing live standing trees! The tell tale sign to identify attack by these insects has been that the wood peckers have been stripping the bark off of trees in search for the larvae to feed on. We are standing by as the BC Ministry of Forest entomologists are determining whether there are effective strategies to mitigate further attack when the insects emerge later this summer. If you have a tree you are concerned about on your property in Radium, Invermere, Windermere, Fairmont, Canal Flats, Kimberly or Cranbrook please reach out and one of our Certified Arborists can arrange a consultation.
