Aerial Detection Surveys (ADS)
What's New
Learn about the findings from the 2023 aerial detection survey of forest health with a interactive story map. Every year since 1947, aerial detection surveys (ADS) have recorded the insects and diseases affecting forests in Oregon and Washington. These annual surveys are cooperative efforts by the Forest Health staffs of the Washington Department of Natural Resources, Oregon Department of Forestry, and the USDA Forest Service Forest Health Protection staff.
