Ever-changing Impacts to the Health of Maine’s Forests & Trees
Managing the threats to Maine’s trees and forests (and there are many), Allison Kanoti and the Maine Forest Service team are at the forefront of today’s science in dealing with invasive pests and changing forest dynamics. The good news is that it isn’t all ‘doom & gloom’ as we learn from cooperative experiences in other regions and incorporate science and new technologies to address current and future threats within our forests and communities.
