| Beech Bark Disease_Monitoring Plots | When beech bark disease, caused by Cryptococcus fagisuga and Nectria coccinea var. faginata, became increasingly visible during aerial surveys, monitoring plots were established to track the scale and nectria.

| Canopy health monitoring | To assess changes in forest canopy health over time by the use of canopy photography. Establish an archivable image of stand condition to use as a baseline for future comparisons. Since a baseline has been created in past years, photography will be taken only if other surveys indicate tree stress or damage is occuring, and results will be compared to baseline established. | 26 | 2 | Other | Vermont Monitoring Cooperative | Josh Halman | | Sandy has 8 binders full of photography (slides) that are labeled and need to be scanned | Matt scanned slides in one of the 8 books at the UVM library.
