We provide forest pest and disease diagnostics.

For advice on tree pests visit our Forest Health Forum on Facebook. To identify an unknown species of bark or ambrosia beetle, visit Frass & Noodles, our Facebook group devoted to identification and discussion of woodboring beetles, or you could follow these steps.

We are part of ProForest

A proactive forest health and resilience group. Visit our webpage.
