Integrated Pest Management
Forest insects and diseases can affect all aspects of the way we use our forest resource. A walk in the woods is not as enjoyable if you are surrounded by defoliated trees.

This Group provides technical advice and management options to forest stakeholders who are attempting to deal with pest problems.
