Excerpt from Forest Pest Conditions Report for the Northeastern Area, 1986 Although a pocket of jack pine budworm. Activity persists on the huron-manistee National Forest, populations have collapsed in lower Michigan. Less than A,000 acres of detectable defoliation is expected next year. If this holds true, it will be dramatically lower than the acres of moderate to heavy defoliation reported in 1985. Aerial surveys in 1986 found no visible signs of budworm defoliation in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. However, pupae and egg mass surveys confirm a growing population in the Baraga Plains area where some defoliation was observed and where the next epidemic population is expected to occur.
