"Invasive species are a major
forest health threat in North America, costing federal, state, and local
governments billions of dollars annually for monitoring, management, and
mitigation of impacts. Landowners are often negatively affected when
forest ecosystems are changed and they lose valuable trees to invasive
pests. Human-mediated movement of invasive species is a common method in
which pests travel long distances. Using data from a national survey of
U.S. citizens, this webinar will discuss people's attitudes and knowledge
towards invasive species and the relationship with firewood. We will
consider these data, and the common perceptions of individuals who routinely
frequent the outdoors, in the broader context of forest health."
