Beech bark disease resistance handout

I've created a pdf showing the different stages of beech bark disease, and explaining where and how to look for resistance. http://www.oldgrowth.ca/wp-content/uploads/Beech-Bark-Disease-Resistance.pdf. Feel free to share it, any way you like.

I've found that most forests with a lot of beech in them (especially old-growth forests) have one or more resistant trees, but I often have to walk around, and look closely at a number of trees, to find them. I never noticed any resistant trees until I started looking for them specifically - but they're out there.
