The Forest Insects and Diseases Working Group promotes the protection of forest resources throughout North America for the benefit of member countries and future generations. The Working Group aims to achieve this through: a) the prevention and eradication of forest insects and diseases and b) the maintenance and improvement of tree and forest health through international cooperation.
The working group advises the NAFC and other authoritative North American organizations on major forest health issues faced by the three countries and requiring special attention from a research and policy perspective. It also facilitates technical knowledge exchanges informing proactive and effective pest risk management at the country and North American level and facilitates partnerships between key players involved in forest health management in North America and beyond.
