    • Title: Historical Maine Forest Service Aerial Detection and Disturbance Data, 1918 to 1997
    • Start Date: 1918-01-01
    • End Date: 1997-12-31
    • Description: This dataset encompasses spatial data collected aerially and in the field on defoliation in the state of Maine prior to 1997. This includes gypsy moth (1990-1993), hemlock looper (1990-1993), browntail moth (1994-1997) and spruce budworm (compiled by the Maine Forest Service from maps, reports and/or the 1997 David Weed report for various years back to 1918).
