Managing for forest health focuses on reducing the risk associated with biotic pests (insects and disease) and abiotic issues (wildfire, drought, more). Sound forest management can help you achieve a healthy, sustainable forest.

Invasive Pest Range Maps

Forest pest range maps help forest resource managers understand threats to their forests and make better management decisions. The following maps are georeferenced and can be opened in compatible apps (e.g., Avenza Maps).

Extension Programs

  • The Bradford Pear Bounty aims to replace landscape and ornamental varieties of Pryus calleryana (including but not limited to the ‘Bradford’ variety). Homeowners who cut their pear downs receive a free native replacement. This program also seeks to raise awareness for the invasive properties of this tree.
  • Poolside Pests is a program that aims to increase public awareness and citizen reporting of invasive species. When new pests are detected quickly, eradication efforts are more successful and our forests stay healthier.
