Forest insect activity in Alaska shows upward trends or more diversity in active epidemic species. The black-headed budworm outbreak in southeast Alaska continued to diminish. Hemlock sawfly has become epidemic over a wide area. Bark beetle activity in interior Alaska increased on the Kenai Peninsula. Numerous small pockets of epidemic-level Ips activity were noted on the Yukon/Porcupine/Chandalar/Coleen Rivers.
