Tracking Spongy Moth Defoliation and the Economics of Slowing the Spread webinar

Spongy moth primarily defoliates oaks but, in a major outbreak, will defoliate evergreen and other hardwood species as well.

Forest Service Research & Development will hold a Tracking Spongy Moth Defoliation and the Economics of Slowing the Spread webinar on Tuesday, May 19^th at 2 pm ET.

In this webinar, researchers will discuss the benefits and costs of the Slow the Spread Program as well as the importance (and challenges) of mapping defoliation with remote sensing tools such as HiForm.
