Given the continued expansion of significant, damaging invasive forest insects, diseases, plants and animals on the Allegheny National Forest, and the intermingled nature of forest land ownerships across that landscape, a collaborative approach to addressing forest health issues on the High Allegheny Unglaciated Plateau was initiated in 2018 and has been on-going since then.
