[MAIPC] USDA finalizes NAPPRA listing of plants - Faith blogs about it

[Phytodoer at aol.com]

Dear forest pest mavens,
 
I am pleased to announce that USDA APHIS has finalized a four-year-old  
proposal to prohibit imports of 56 plant taxa because they pose a risk of 
either  being invasive themselves or transporting damaging tree pests.
 
I have posted a blog summarizing the NAPPRA listing & outlining how the  
NAPPRA program came to be at _www.cisp.us_ (http://www.cisp.us)  or 
_www.nivemnic.us_ (http://www.nivemnic.us)  
 
I am currently working on another blog looking at the pest risk associated  
with plant imports. Look for it soon!
 
Faith
