Forest Service Quarantines Coos County Pine

As if the North Country's timber industry hasn't already taken enough hits, State officials have announced a quarantine of pine logs coming out of Coos County.

The Quarantine begins January 1st. The Cause is a little bug called the pine shoot beetle. But Jennifer Bofinger with NH's Division of Forests and Lands tells NHPR's Mark Bevis, she doesn't expect the quarantine to have a serious effect on the timber industry.
