Forest Health Monitoring Season Complete
As leaves begin to change and there is a crispness to the air, the Forest Health Monitoring field season must come to a close. This year, for the first time, FEMC crews visited all seven states in the cooperative, establishing 200 plots for continued monitoring. Plots were established and measured at all sites in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Plots were visited and established in New York and will be measured next year. Once the leaves begin to fall field crews disperse, returning to university classes or other career opportunities. Once data QA/QC is complete, the data will be made available in the Regional FHM data archive.
