Red Pine Infestation. Red Pine Scale, a small insect that feeds on red pine needles, had infested about 120 acres in Bear Brook State Park. With no simple way to control the insects, which are spread by the wind, birds, or squirrels, the NH Forest Management Bureau remove and sold the trees for lumber last winter while the insects were dormant. This will hopefully stop their spread northward. (Concord Monitor, Nov. 18, 2012) The most visible areas are right along Deerfield Rd. and New Rye Rd. near the Old Meeting House. |
