Forest Miscellaneous Damage Event

Miscellaneous events are often the result of the cumulative impact of a combination of abiotic, insect and disease agents or events.

For example, Aspen decline where repeated infestations of Forest Tent Caterpillar, are combined with several seasons of prolonged drought.

The Government of Ontario tracks forest damage events to help proactively manage the detrimental effects to our forests.   We monitor the threat and spread of invasive forest pest insect species in Ontario.

The data is also important to the Forest Management Planning process in calculating timber volume loss within affected areas.
