Type of Disturbance: • Mountain Pine Beetle (on Lodgepole Pine) of Douglas-fir Beetle (use slide for timber typing only!) Timber Type: • Douglas-fir & Lodgepole Pine (even mix) Location: • unknown Additional Notes: • Douglas-fir looks like spruce (however, dry terrain should be clue for Douglas-fir vs. spruce)

Type of Disturbance: • n/a (timber typing exercise) • Spruce Beetle (some) Timber Type: • Spruce with some Alpine Fir (in lower right) Location: • unknown Additional Notes: • note spiked top of Alpine Fir • Spruce cones shaped like rocket (taper quickly) but not spiked top (more conical)

Type of Disturbance: • Douglas-fir Beetle Timber Type: • Douglas-fir (almost pure stand) Location: • unknown

Timber Type: • Western Hemlock (mainly- a) with some Amabilis Fir (b) Location: • unknown Additional Notes: • note feathery texture to stand and scalloped branches of tree
