Invasive insect pests are "probably the most significant environmental threat to our forests," according to the US Forest Service. It's time to get serious about preventing new ones from getting into the country. #treesmarttrade @usfs_nrs #stopforestpests

#Trees are important to us in many ways. Let's protect our #forests and #streettrees from #invasivepests with #TreeSMARTtrade
Research indicates that Maple trees may be a foundation species - one that plays an outsized role in shaping & maintaining its ecosystem.Β & they are under attack by #forestpests brought here by int'l trade. We must protect our #trees with #TreeSmartTrade before pests come ashore.
A new study by @AMaxEll17 and collaborators in China points to the importance of conserving maple trees as a possible foundation species https://t.co/xlAVYS9GIx
A story of valiant effort and hope that demonstrates how much effort and how many resources must be allocated to fight #forestpests once they're here. Let's prevent establishment in the first place with #treeSMARTtrade. #InvasiveSpecies @ScienceMagazine

More than 200,000 trees have been cut down in the US to combat outbreaks of the Asian Longhorned Beetle. Now there is another outbreak in SC. The insect is brought into the country in infested pallets and crates. It's time for some #TreeSmartTrade
Nice article by @gwendolynnn1 in the @adkexplorer. In the Adirondacks, imported forest pests are damaging beech, hemlock, ash, fir, oak and others. What's next? We need #treesmarttrade to keep them out of the country.

Take a look at this great essay by @msrweiss in @FeralAtlas on the history of wooden pallets and why they have become so dangerous to U.S. forests. #treesmarttrade #foresthealth https://t.co/NbTEKRWbn5
The short answer is "Probably not." But this engaging article in Smithsonian shows how the Spotted lanternfly affects real people and businesses. #treeSMARTtrade #foresthealth @jeff_macgregor

Faith Campbell once again hits the nail on the head in her most recent blog. APHIS failed to protect American forests in its most recent trade negotiations with China. #foresthealth #treesmarttrade https://t.co/NecmKt74fB
Because of imported forest pests, the Adirondack forest may soon lose its ash and hemlock trees. What's next? Federal action is needed to keep new pests out of the country. @adk_council #treesmarttrade
Another forest pest on the move in the Adirondacks https://t.co/IjwmzY0lxi
You can help protect our trees from invasive forest pests. #TreeSMARTtrade
#TreeSMARTtrade policies can help us protect native trees from invasive forest pests and save forests, parks, and street trees across the US.
The invasive hemlock woolly adelgid is decimating trees in the northeastern US β with cascading effects. When hemlocks die, birds + fish are negatively impacted, invasive plants proliferate, and forests undergo changes in carbon storage and nutrient retention. #TreeSMARTtrade
Good article in Science by @GabrielPopkin showing severe forest damage by forest pests in Shenandoah Natl Park. Ditto for Great Smoky Mts, Everglades and many other NPs. To stop this, we need #treeSMARTtrade! @ShenandoahNPS @GSMNP https://t.co/bMLgXOeEYV
Congratulations to forest ecologist @GaryLovett1!
He speaks for the trees. #TreeSMARTtrade π²π³π
Congrats to Cary forest ecologist Gary Lovett (left) and Cary Trustee John Drake (right), a Professor at the University of Georgiaβs Odum School of Ecology, for being named Fellows of the Ecological Society of America: https://t.co/e7Exn71rqG

Asian gypsy moth that can attack 500 different tree & plant species arrives on coal freighter.
US needs stronger #TreeSmartTrade.
INVASIVE SPECIES: Inspectors find eggs of 'voracious' moth on ship at Md. port https://t.co/G4C5JKFaWu via @EENewsUpdates
USDA-APHIS may switch to risk-based inspection of live plant imports, according to an article by @cole_n_martin in @ResourcesMag (https://t.co/UDmRO4xVvb). But what we really need is to prohibit imports of plants that put our native trees at great risk. #TreeSMARTTrade
The U.S. also follows ISPM-15 rules for wooden shipping pallets to prevent the importation of harmful #forestpests. #treeSMARTtrade
EU requires 3rd countries to follow strict rules regarding pallets they use to export (ISPM 15 rules, to be exact)
DEFRA confimed *last week* there isn't enough of these pallets for exporting to the EU if there's no deal
Emergency conference call today https://t.co/ZEAERBKKeC
Sentinel trees, which we recommend as a part of #TreeSMARTTrade, can give us advanced warning of what invasive pests and diseases to be looking for. Nice article in Science by @GabrielPopkin describing work by @JiriHulcr and others.

This @NPR Short Wave podcast (https://t.co/l4ilSJeZUQ) doesn't discuss forest pests (for that, see earlier episode about the #SpottedLanternfly), it shows us how complex it can be to deal with #invasivespecies once they are established. #PreventionIsBest #treeSMARTtrade
