    • Title: Standardized Regional Aerial Detection Survey Disturbance Spatial Data
    • Start Date: 1918-01-01
    • Description: Standardized collection of annual aerial surveys for forest pests, disturbance, and damage conducted by the states of VT, NY, NH, MA, ME, CT, RI. These data have been collected from each state and the USFS, and all coding has been converted to the 2016 standard.

    • Purpose: Monitoring forest condition in the states of NY, VT, NH, ME, CT, RI and MA.
