SUMMARY:68th National Forest Pest Management Forum
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Natural Resources Canada in support of the National Forest Pest Strategy\, the Forum is the largest and most significant gathering of forest pest management experts\, managers\, and practitioners in Canada. The objectives are to share information on current and future pest conditions\, pest control operations\, environmental issues\, and the development of new technologies for forest health monitoring and management\, as well as to discuss the latest research findings. \nIn-person at the Courtyard Marriott Downtown in Ottawa\, Ontario and virtually via Zoom hosted by the Canadian Institute of Forestry. \nRegister by November 15th\, 2025

SUMMARY:Webinar: Harnessing AI for Invasive Species Detection: Smart Traps\, Drones\, and Machine Learning in Action
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Melissa Miller from the University of Florida will present her work on developing AI-powered smart traps designed to detect and remove invasive tegu lizards—large\, fast-moving reptiles that threaten native wildlife and agriculture in the southeastern U.S. Dr. Thomas O’Shea-Wheller from the University of Exeter will share his team’s research on using deep learning models to detect invasive hornets in real time\, offering critical insights for rapid response and containment. Representing Ducks Unlimited Canada\, Matthew Bolding and Mallory Carpenter will discuss their efforts to integrate drone technology and AI to monitor populations of European water chestnut\, a fast-spreading aquatic invasive plant impacting wetland biodiversity and water quality. \nThis webinar will highlight how emerging technologies are being adapted and applied to meet the challenges of invasive species detection in the field—providing a glimpse into the future of smart conservation.
