Annual Report

The Alberta government publishes an annual snapshot of programs related to the management of forest health and adaptation in the province's forests.

The annual report includes: 

  • Details on work to detect, monitor, assess and manage insect and disease attacks – such as mountain pine beetle and forest tent caterpillars – that damage the health of our forests. 
  • Overviews of programs in place to address notable tree diseases in the province, and summaries of research underway to produce well adapted trees. 
  • Summaries of seed research, seed collection, plant propagation and genetic trials carried out by the Alberta Tree Improvement and Seed Centre (ATISC).
