Our Mission

Sudden Oak Death

COMTF focuses on the plant pathogen Phytophthora ramorum, which can have devastating effects in the wildlands it inhabits and has had substantial impacts on the nursery industry internationally.
Meetings and Events
The California Forest Pest Council has annual meetings every fall for CFPC members, forest managers, forest pest specialists, policy makers and analysts, government agencies and anyone interested in forest health.
