Treatment planned for moth-damaged areas in the Payette National Foreset

Areas of the Payette National Forest that have been hard hit by a tussock moth infestation are scheduled for treatment to clear out dead trees in an effort to improve the health of the remaining trees and forest.
 Washington County commissioners recently were briefed on the extent of the tussock moth problem on the Payette National Forest and pending projects by Rhonda Bishop, the ranger for the Weiser and Council ranger districts.
