New USFS Field Guide for
Tracking Long-term Tree
Survival, Growth, and Health
The Forest Service has released several new
products that offer guidance on how to track
the long-term health of trees in your commu-
nity. Using this guidance will help inform tree
maintenance and management programs and
support the research community in studying
trends in tree growth and mortality at the local
and national levels. You can find the field guide,
how-to videos, and other resources here.

Publication from USFS
The Cross-Pollinator is a science synthesis
publication produced quarterly in coop-
eration between the Northern Research
Station, the Urban Field Station Network,
State and Private Forestry, and the Urban

rations among researchers and practitioners
that "cross" forest research with urban and
community forests at a landscape scale.
