 Protecting our Forests We are part of the State, Private, and Tribal Forestry Deputy Area of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service. We have over 250 specialists in the areas of forest entomology, forest pathology, invasive plants, pesticide use, survey and monitoring, suppression and control, assessment and applied sciences, and other forest health-related services.
  Protecting the Forest We provide technical assistance on forest health-related matters, particularly those related to disturbance agents such as native and non-native insects, pathogens, and invasive plants. We value and work through partnerships across lands of all ownerships. We provide forest insect, disease and invasive plant survey and monitoring information, and technical and financial assistance to prevent, suppress and control outbreaks threatening forest resources. We help to maintain, enhance, and restore healthy forest conditions. Learn more about Protecting the Forest
