Populations of Douglas-fir beetles are currently very high in the Cariboo Region. This beetle infests and kills Douglas-fir trees wherever they grow in British Columbia, especially in the dry interior regions of the province. Douglas-fir beetles normally attack small groups of trees, but it's not uncommon for 100 trees to be affected at the same time during significant outbreaks.
