Your State's Forest Health

The USDA Forest Service, Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) is a national program designed to determine the status, changes, and trends of forest health using indicators collected on an annual basis. The FHM program uses forest health data from ground plots and surveys, aerial surveys, and other biotic and abiotic data sources and develops analytical approaches to address forest health issues that affect the sustainability of forest ecosystems.
