Yoho National Park: A steady beetle population
 |
Yoho quick facts:
- The first beetle outbreaks occurred in 1930s.
- Major increases occurred in the Beaverfoot River to west gate area, along with an increasing number of spot colonizations recorded northward along the Kicking Horse River toward Porcupine Creek.
In Yoho, current populations are concentrated on Mount Burgess, at the west end of the park (Hoodoo Creek, near the west gate and along the Beaver Foot River) and in the MacArthur Creek area (Ottertail River, near Float Creek). Until recently, the Yoho populations were seen as small, although growing.
