The team works in association with APHIS' Environmental Services group during planning and with APHIS' Analytical and Natural Products Chemistry Laboratory during implementation. The team conducts field training on sampling and documentation, followed by regular communication with field personnel. The Team interprets data, and communicates findings through reports and in discussions with stakeholders.
