Forest Health Issues
Forest health protection staff provide training/workshops to a variety of people who are interested in forest health issues. One example is hazard tree identification/evaluation training for park managers and employees who maintain powerline right-of-way. Another example is CODIT (Compartmentalization of Decay in Trees) training for foresters and loggers. The following are some of the handouts provided at these training sessions.
