Southern Pine Beetle in Alabama
Southern Pine Beetle (SPB) in Alabama: "We are detecting more beetle spots this year than last
year. Aerial surveys have been completed for most of the western
counties," reported Dana Stone, Forest Management Division
Director, Alabama Forestry Commission, 7/26/23. After opening the Commission's map, zoom in to see exactly where beetle
spots are located. You can select "Imagery Hybrid" in the
"Basemap Gallery" (located under the words "Insect and Disease
Map") to see names of map features such as towns and highway names on a
photo-like image. There are lots of spots near the Bankhead National Forest
(Lawrence & Winston counties), and in Pickens,
Hale, Choctaw, Washington, Clarke, Monroe, and Conecuh counties.
