Summary

In October 2011, a forum post relayed that Michigan DNR Forest Health Monitoring researchers were evaluating Beaver Island specimens to diagnose a reported fir problem.

Evidence limits

This is secondhand community reporting of an agency communication. It supports the existence of an evaluation effort, but not a final diagnosis, extent of forest damage, or management response.

The post relayed an email from Roger Mech of the DNR Forest Health Monitoring Program saying researchers were still evaluating island specimens to diagnose a fir problem. It is secondhand forum reporting and does not preserve the diagnosis or treatment decision.
