Silviculturist Dave Moorhead and entomologist Keith Douce handle thousands of inquiries a year about sick trees, insect invasions and exotic plants. Half their challenge in helping is diagnosing the problem--and that can be tough from a distance. To that end, the two UGA faculty members began a decade ago to collect, digitize and archive high-quality images, mainly 35 mm slides. They eventually developed the Bugwood Network (www.bugwood.org), which provides information relating to forestry, entomology, natural resources, agriculture and invasive species.
Now Bugwood has joined with the USDA Forest Service to produce ForestryImages.org. Entries are listed by subject, common name and scientific name. The images and information can be downloaded for educational use.
