 Tennessee’s forest health management
program seeks to minimize resource losses from forest insects, disease,
vertebrate pests, or other sources impacting growth such as flooding and air
pollution. It monitors and evaluates pest occurrences; promotes
healthy forests through education and technical assistance; and implements
integrated pest management strategies on state forests, nurseries, and
orchards.
In
Tennessee, primary emphasis is placed on
four major threats to forest health. They are: gypsy
moth, southern pine beetle, oak decline and dogwood
anthracnose.
The
Division of Forestry works with the USDA Forest Service and the TDA Division
of Regulatory Services, Plant Certification Section to carry out program
activities including aerial and ground surveys of affected lands and showing
forest managers and landowners how to prevent and manage pests.
