Help us improve
these maps for
your needs!
These maps are intended to provide a
broad-scale prediction regarding when
management action may be necessary
and are intended to supplement local
knowledge. Forecast accuracy may vary
locally based on microclimatic variation.
In addition, thresholds may perform with
variable accuracy across species ranges.
We'd love to hear from you whether
these maps perform well at your loca-
tion. You can help us improve the
accuracy of these forecasts by let-
ting us know when pests undergo life
cycle stages at your location. You can
report observations of hemlock woolly
adelgid and lilac borer in Nature's
Notebook, the USA-NPN's plant and
animal phenology observing program.
If there are other species for which you'd
like to see these maps generated, please
let us know. You can provide feedback
on the maps in the sidebar of the Pheno
Forecast pages or by emailing us.
SavATree can help you look at the distribution
of tree canopy across your city and relate it
to the biophysical and
social environment.
Mapping is a tool
to inform program,
policy, and practice to
identify opportunities
for increasing
environmental equity.
We can assist with
both mapping and
practice support.
