USDA Cooperative Research Forum on Invasive Species

Hosted by NAISMA in partnership with USDA agencies, this national forum will bring together researchers and invasive species professionals from across the country to strengthen collaboration and advance applied research on invasive species challenges. Building on the expanded focus of the Cooperative Research Forum, the event will address a wide range of invasive insects, diseases and weeds affecting forest and urban trees, including the Asian longhorned beetle, emerald ash borer, hemlock woolly adelgid, spotted lanternfly and others.

The forum features three days of:

*      Research updates and knowledge exchange

*      Cross‑sector and international collaboration

*      Student and early‑career engagement

*      Discussions on invasive insects, pathogens and weeds impacting forests and urban landscapes
