Alien Invasives
Work on alien species has long been a key component
of the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) research program. For much
of the twentieth century the CFS made significant contributions
to the understanding of such alien invaders as white
pine blister rust, Dutch
elm disease and Gypsy
moth. More recently, Canadian and international attention has
focused on preventing the global movement of alien species, on responding
to recent establishments and on developing effective mitigation
methods.
The links below describe some of the work ongoing in the CFS alien
invasive species program with our partners in the Canadian
Food Inspection Agency.
