<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;">I have posted a new blog which discusses USFS efforts to counter non-native forest pests - and the difficulties caused by inadequate funding. I urge you to lobby your Representative and Senators to support increased funding for USFS forest pest programs.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;">The blog also discusses how Forest Inventory and Analysis data reveal the impact of some of the pests.</span></div>
