Summary of Maine's Forest & Shade Tree Insect & Disease Conditions in 2023 is Now Available

This Annual Summary Report of Maine's Forest & Shade Tree Insect & Disease Conditions provides a detailed record of the 2023 activities related to forest insects and diseases in Maine. This report serves as a present and historic reference of forest health conditions for natural resource professionals, land owners, forest health and forest trade professionals. It provides a static document, housed in hard copy at the State Library and the Insect and Disease Lab in Augusta, and also online on the Digital Maine Repository, which has a powerful and useful keyword search.
