The Southern Interior Forest Region (SIFR)
covers a large and diverse area. These forest
lands span many ecosystems and zones. This area
includes: desert, drybelt, moist, alpine, and
sub alpine ecosystems. The geographic area
extends from Quesnel in the Northwest to the
Alberta Border in the North East and to the US
border in the South.
This highly variable and diverse environment
contains a range of damaging pests. Forest
pathogens include: needle cast fungi, root
diseases, stem decays, mistletoes, and rust
fungi. Forest pathogens cause tree mortality,
growth loss and defects throughout the SIR.
