The following description of the inoculation process at Dorena is excerpted from pages 72 and 73 of the Whitebark Pine Restoration Strategy for the Pacific Northwest Region. 2009–2013 (available here: ecoshare.info/uploads/documents/WPB_Strategy_PNW_093008cl...):
"The Dorena Genetic Resource Center (Dorena), a component of the regional genetics program of Pacific Northwest Region (and a partner with the regional Forest Health Protection group), has established protocols for blister rust resistance testing of whitebark pine. These protocols are based on those developed and successfully used for screening of western white pine (P. monticola) and sugar pine (P. lambertiana) over the past 5 decades (Danchok et al. 2003).
Resistance testing involves inoculation of young (usually 2-year-old) seedlings with spores of C. ribicola and evaluation of seedlings for up to 5 years after inoculation. Inoculation usually takes place in late August or during September (which coincides with time of natural infection in the field). Seedlings are moved into a climate-controlled inoculation chamber. Temperature within the inoculation chamber is maintained at around 16.7° C (62° F) and relative humidity at 100 percent.
Ribes spp. are the alternative host for C. ribicola, and spores from infected Ribes spp. are necessary to infect the pines. Ribes spp. leaves infected with C. ribicola at the telial stage are collected from forests in Oregon and Washington or from the Ribes garden at Dorena. The Ribes leaves are placed on wire frames above the seedlings, telial side down. Spore fall is monitored until the desired (target) inoculum density of basiospores is reached for each box; the Ribes leaves are then removed. After the target inoculum density is reached for the last box, the temperature is raised to 20° C, and the seedlings are left in the inoculation chamber for approximately 48 hours to ensure spore germination and infection of the pine needles.
Following inoculation, the seedlings are transported outside. The seedlings are evaluated over a period of 5 years for the presence of disease symptoms and mortality. The first symptoms to develop are needle lesions, or ‘spots.’ These are typically assessed approximately 9 months and 1 year after inoculation. Presence and number of stem symptoms along with mortality is assessed annually for 5 years after inoculation."

Degraded plant condition caused by overgrazing and drought conditions.
Plant Productivity and Health
Improper fertility, management, or plants not adapted to site negatively impact plant productivity, vigor, and/or quality.
What is it?
Plants established in locations where the climate, soils, or moisture availability are unfavorable can be stressed and may not thrive even with excellent management. Natural events such as drought or cultural practices such as grazing and mowing can cause plant stress. Improper management (e.g., exorbitant plant populations)are a stressor that can affect plant productivity and health. Plants under stress are more susceptible to disease and insect damage. Symptoms of poor plant vigor and health may include slow growth, discoloration of leaves, wilting or drooping foliage, leaf drop, root pruning, changes in growth form and discolored roots, and even plant death.
Why is it important?
To meet productivity and conservation goals, it is important that plants are adapted to the site on which they are growing, established in proper populations, provided with enough nutrients, water, and sunshine, and protected from excessive levels of stress.
What can be done about it?
Using conservation practices can help establish and maintain plant productivity and health. Assistance from a crop specialist, grazing land specialist, forester, or biologist may be needed to set realistic production and conservation goals that consider species suitability, soils, climate, management options, and local data for similar cropping/forestry systems. The NRCS Web Soil Survey (websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/HomePage.htm) is a source of soils information for the growth of crops and trees. Extension programs and educators from local universities are resources for cultural and management practices that keep plants healthy and productive. Nutrient management guides the rate, source, timing, and placement of nutrients as needed to meet production and health goals. Integrated pest management provides techniques to detect, avoid, and treat pests and diseases. Forestry conservation practices can remove and replace unhealthy trees and treat woody debris to reduce risks from insects and diseases. Conservation practices in cropping systems address soil problems such as erosion, compaction, low organic matter, or contaminants through the use of cover crops, new crop rotations, or changes in tillage and/or harvesting methods. Conservation practices in grazing systems can assist in alleviating stressors such as plant vigor and reduced production yields by increasing grazing distribution, managing forage stubble heights, and providing adequate rest periods during seasonal growth variations.

Corps' Natural Resource Specialist Ranger John Mueller describes the damages Quagga mussels inflict on our lakes and dams.
Over 900 participants descended on the Tucumcari, N.M. Outdoor Classroom to celebrate the 41st Annual Earth Day on April 21, 2011. Students and teachers from Tucumcari, Fort Sumner, San Jon, and Logan, N.M., elementary schools attended the all-day event that rotated groups of students through 10 separate learning stations. Presenters included experts from the Nature Conservancy speaking about reptiles and amphibians, the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs on archeology, an entomologist from New Mexico State University on butterflies, New Mexico Game and Fish on New Mexico wildlife, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Corps’ Natural Resource Specialist Ranger John Mueller from the District’s Conchas Lake and Ranger Bob Mumford from the District’s Santa Rosa Lake provided 20 interpretive presentations that centered on the invasive species known as the Zebra/Quagga mussel. Students learned about the nuisance species’ origin, history, how to identify them and ways to prevent their spread to new habitats.
Ranger Mueller unveiled a new educational tool: a Quagga mussel infested propeller that had been submerged in Lake Mead, Nevada for 13 months and is now enclosed in a protected display case. This helped inspire interest and provoked many questions from the students.

This photograph was taken by Nicholson Museum curator William J Woodhouse in Greece between 1890 and 1935.
Can you help us catalogue the Woodhouse photographic archive? Contribute by adding tags and answering the following questions in the comments below:
•What do you see? Write a brief description for this image.
•Where was this photograph taken?
•Can you find the geo co-ordinates (latitude and longitude) of this exact place? Let us know by linking to the google maps or add the co-ordinates in your comment.
•Do you know what year this photograph was taken?
About the archive:
The Nicholson Museum holds over 1800 glass-plate negatives taken by Woodhouse while in Greece in 1890s and early 1900s. A small portion of the archive also includes photographs of his family in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. The collection documents important archaeological sites, significant landscapes of the Greek mainland, contemporary buildings and the people he met along the way. His archive is a rich resource capturing many sites pre-archaeological excavation and before modern industrial development. Some of the photographs were published by Woodhouse in his book 'Aetolia: its geography, topography, and antiquities' published in 1897. His desire to capture Greece on 'film', was simply put in his introduction: "History only attains its full value by borrowing actuality from geography and topography". The archive shows his love not only for the sites but also for the people and spirit of Greece.
About the project:
We are asking you to contribute to our documentation of this collection and assist us with the identification of the hundreds of different monuments and places in Greece. The title of each photograph will include the museum registration number (NM2007.##.##) and may already include a place name where museum staff or Woodhouse himself have titled the image.
All of our flikr contributors will be acknowledged when the collection is published through our online collections at the completion of the project.
