Summary

[edit]
Description

This is a picture of a pilot Steve Wilson, left, and David Beckman who does aerial sketch mapping surveys for insect and disease damage. The purpose of these flights is to detect new outbreaks or identify previously undetected outbreaks of forests pests, monitor existing outbreaks, provide timely information for managing planning, and provide information for forest health assessments and project plans. You can see the plane that they fly in right behind them, a Cessna 182.

What I feel sticks out the most in this picture is the bundle of maps David is carrying along with an abundance of other equipment. I like the way the pilot Steve has his hands over his eyes so he can get a better view, which is somewhat symbolic of the work that they do when they are flying.
