includes a link to the Northeastern Forest Health Atlas which allows you to search as far back as 1918. Each pest and disease section of the map includes an overall description, how it’s identified, its lifecycle, what kind of damage it causes and photos to help identify pests or diseases. When possible, it also includes where it has been found within the state and nation, as well as contact information for reporting it. The Massachusetts Forest Health Story Map is a treasure trove of our state’s forest health information. Whether you are looking for some- thing you’ve seen while hiking or have a client with strange signs on their trees, the story map is a great place to start your search.
