Mountain pine beetle (MPB) is spreading east, threatening vast areas of Canadian forests. Knowing where infestations are is key to managing the problem. This app was developed by fRI Research as a quick and simple way for people to report the presence of mountain pine beetle. The data collected will inform management actions and support current and future mountain pine beetle research.

This app uses the GPS to track where you find Pine Beetles, and continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life, so use with caution!
