Good afternoon Julian:
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I was wondering if you know if this has spread to
the <i class="">Thuja plicata </i>population on Haida Gwaii? I
no longer have any contacts there and I have not been able to
determine the known footprint of the problem through what’s
available online.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am assuming this problem is of Climate Change
origin rather than any exotic pathogen.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks, in advance</div>

<p class="">Dr. Joey Hulbert at Washington State
University has launched a citizen science project on
iNaturalist to enlist help gathering data about the
decline and death of Western redcedar. <br class="">

Dieback Map</a> project</div>
<div class="">3. Add an observation (share a picture) of
a healthy or unhealthy redcedar tree by using the
iNaturalist Mobile App or your through an internet
browser</div>
<div class="">4. Tag the Western Redcedar Dieback Map
project in the observation</div>
<div class="">5. Answer questions related to project
about the health of the tree (questions only show up
once project is tagged)</div>
<div class="">6. Share the observation</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I think this is a very worthy project and
I encourage anyone on the west coast who sees dead or
dying redcedars to contribute data. The decline has
been obvious in the Lower Mainland for well over a
decade. It is very pronounced on Vancouver Island
along with the death of Grand fir and Douglas-fir
trees. The intent is to show the extent of the problem
as a first step, and then work on options for
replanting perhaps with different species. This first
step hopes to show the extent of the problem.</div>
