Description: Each year, during the summer and early fall, Forest Health Protection
and its partners conduct aerial surveys to map forest insect and disease
activity in Region 2.
In 2024, aerial surveys were conducted
over 45 million acres. Aerial surveys provide an annual snapshot of
forest health conditions over large areas more efficiently and
economically than other methods.
To conduct the survey,
observers in small aircraft record areas of activity using a digital
mobile sketch-mapping system that incorporates a tablet computer,
geographic information systems and global positioning system technology.
Aircraft used for these flights in the Rocky Mountain Region are
typically small, high-wing planes such as the Daher Kodiak 100 and
Cessna T206. Aircraft fly in either a grid pattern over relatively flat
terrain or following the contours of the terrain in mountainous or
deeply dissected landscapes.
This map accompanies the 2024
Forest Pest Conditions story map (coming soon) and displays the results
from the 2024 aerial detection survey.
