🌳 Happy International Day of Forests 🌳 #internationaldayofforests #forest #trees #forestryfriday #treehugger

A non-native invasive moth has been lurking in the Northeast for more than 120 years and has recently become a pest again – of trees and people – in parts of Maine. Learn more in my latest article. #foresthealth #browntailmoth #forestpests #invasives northernwoodlands.org/knots_and_bo...

This can't be good! Expect an early wildfire season and heavy caterpillar defoliation if conditions don't improve. #drought #foresthealth

Watch out for the #SpottedLanternfly! This invasive pest threatens agriculture and has a wide range of hosts. Found in the eastern and midwestern U.S., now spreading south and west. #NISAW #InvasiveSpecies #forestecol #entomology 🧪 🌎 Learn more: www.emeraldashborer.info/other-specie...

Beware the Asian Longhorned Beetle (ALB)! ALB damages trees like maples and willows. First detected in 1996, it can now be found in multiple parts of the northeastern U.S. #NISAW #InvasiveSpecies #forestecol #entomology 🧪 🌎 Learn more about ALB: www.emeraldashborer.info/other-specie...

Nope that's not snow. It's #hemlockwoollyadelgid aka #HWA which flourished from last winter's warm weather but hopefully the extreme #polarvortex knocked the population back this year! #nisaw #treetuesday #foresthealth

🥶 Ice Ice Maybe: Are We Due for a Major Ice Storm? Major #icestorms occur in the northeast every 15-25 years. Learn more about the history of ice storms in my latest article for The Outside Story at #NorthernWoodlands Illustration by Adelaide Tyrol #icestorm #foresthealth

Major ice storms occur in the northeast every 15 to 25 years. Thousands in CT and MA lost power in this weekends #IceStorm but was this the big one??? It certainly doesn't compare to the 1998 or 2008 storms. Learn more in my latest story for #NorthernWoodlands northernwoodlands.org/outside_stor...

I did the trapping in #NH for almost 20 years and rarely trapped #SBW. According to this map it appears that trap numbers are up and more widespread than anything I saw over my years working for the state. #foresthealth forestresources.org/2025/02/13/s...
