About Us - Understanding and Managing Disease in Forest Ecosystems

Who we are

We are plant pathologists, invasion biologists, foresters, technicians, students, and volunteers who are doing research to understand and manage tree diseases within the rural and urban landscapes of the Midwest. We work with people from a variety of local, State, Federal, and international organizations. We work at many spatial scales-from microscopic to landscape. We collect and analyze data from State and National forests, urban parks and woodlands, nurseries, and our own greenhouse and laboratories. We develop models, write management guidelines, and participate in workshops. We provide information and training to urban planners, land managers, arborists, foresters, community leaders, regulatory agencies, and homeowners.

We are located at 1561 Lindig Avenue, in the St. Paul suburb of Falcon Heights. Click here for map (pdf)
