National Forest Health Monitoring Program

The National Forest Health Monitoring (FSHMo) Program tracks and assesses the overall health of forests across the United States. It collects data on tree conditions, insect and disease outbreaks, and other environmental factors to detect signs of stress or decline. This information helps land managers understand forest trends, identify emerging threats, and plan conservation efforts. By monitoring forest health regularly, the program aims to maintain resilient, productive forests that support ecosystems, wildlife, and communities.
