Forest Pest Outreach and Survey Project

Early detection of exotic forest pests is critical to maintain the health of forest and landscape plants. This project expands proactive legislative and inter-governmental outreach and systematic engagement of stakeholders and citizens to increase public understanding, acceptance and support of early detection, eradication or control of forest pests, particularly those of regulatory concern such as Asian longhorned beetle, emerald ash borer and other pests of concern to federal, state and public constituencies.
