Gall wasps thinning Shawnee timber loss
Foresters report horned oak gall wasps continue to threaten about 1 000 acres of Shawnee National Forest bottomland in Illinois, with tree mortality down from last year due to reduced drought stress. Regeneration cutting proceeds on 50 of 300 acres while officials monitor future recovery over five to ten years.
