Being named a 2024 SAF Fellow is a great recognition and testament of Lenny’s many years of hard work and commitment, sustained leadership, and contribution to the advancement of the forestry profession."

Alien Forest Pest Explorer is an interactive, spatial tool that compiles data from many sources to visualize the current range of invasive pests and provide inventory statistics about status and trends of their hosts. Sue Crocker, Randy Morin, and Songlin Fei will provide an overview of the research and development of this tool, and then demonstrate how it can be used to inform forest health planning at state and regional levels.
