and 50 acres of Powell's Fort, all in Shenandoah County, Va.; 25 acres at Storybook Trail in Page County, Va.; and 70 acres at Wolf Gap in Hardy County, W. Va.
Even though large areas of the national forest will be defoliated next year, the Forest Service does not propose to treat all the general forest areas that have high populations of gypsy moths. Instead, the service proposes to treat nine areas, totaling 5,704 acres that contain high value timber.
The nine areas include: 1,191 acres in the Dutchman area, 057 acres at Squirrel Gap, 446 acres on North Mountain, 407 acres on Breakneck Ridge, 242 acres at Mountain View and 128 acres on Rocky Ridge, all in Hardy, W.Va.; 1,700 acres at Haw k in Hampshire, W.Va., and 852 acres at High.Head in Shenandoah Cuonty, Va.; and 120 acres in the Cold Spring area in Frederick County, Va.
The second plan is to realise a fungus capable of causing disease and death in gypsy moth caterpillars as early as next year. This fungus is native to Japan and was introduced into the United States in the early 1900s.
The fungus caused major disease outbreaks in gypsy moth caterpillars in the Northeastern United States in 1989 and 1990, and in the George Washington National Forest in 1992.
Although the fungus is relatively species-specific, it also may kill some species of native moths that are closely related to the gypsy moth.
