Who will manage infestations?
Land in Alberta is managed by a number of different stakeholders such as private, provincial, federal and municipalities. Although SRD is the lead agency when managing mountain pine beetle, consultation with all stakeholders and coordination of efforts among all land mangers is critical. The department works closely with the forest industry, municipalities, other provincial ministries and the federal government to undertake treatments in Alberta. Further detail can be found in the Mountain Pine Beetle Infestation Management Responsibilities and the Alberta’s Mountain Pine Beetle Action Plan.
