A foliage disease epidemic that killed shore pines near 10 Mile and other areas around Haines appears to have subsided, according to a U.S. Forest Service pathologist who visited here last week.
An agency website page on the disease in Haines and Skagway called the outbreaks “severe” and “unprecedented.”
A Forest Service map shows areas affected straddling Takshanuk Ridge between 8 Mile and 30 Mile and around the upper Chilkat River near the Canada border.
