Abstract

Collaboration has been the key to success for urban forest management in Colorado, not only collaboration amongst agencies at all levels of government but also in engaging industry allies, coordinating education and outreach efforts and in fostering community support. A unique interagency team, the Emerging Pests in Colorado (EPIC) Workgroup, was formed in 2009 to address the immediate threat from Thousand Cankers Disease (TCD) of walnut and to plan for the arrival of other invasive urban forest pests to Colorado. When the emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) (EAB) was detected in Boulder, Colorado in 2013, it marked the westernmost occurrence of EAB in the US, threatening millions of planted and naturalized ash trees representing over 25 percent of the tree canopy throughout Colorado’s urban and riparian forests. The detection in Boulder prompted the development of a second multi-agency group, the Colorado EAB Response Team (CORT). The preparedness and established working relationships between stakeholders and responsible authorities allowed for a quick, decisive and unified response. We review as a case study: (1) the formation and history of collaborative interagency groups in Colorado; (2) how the interagency collaborative planning and post-detection EAB response have supported community forestry programmes throughout the state; (3) development of the post-detection EAB management plan and economics behind the strategy in Boulder, Colorado; and (4) the proactive EAB planning and outreach efforts underway in Denver, Colorado.

准备和应对祖母绿灰蛀虫的合作方法:来自科罗拉多州的案例研究
合作是科罗拉多州城市森林管理取得成功的关键,不仅是各级政府机构之间的合作,还包括与行业盟友的合作、协调教育和推广工作以及促进社区支持。2009年成立了一个独特的跨部门小组,科罗拉多新出现的害虫(EPIC)工作组,以解决核桃千疮病(TCD)的直接威胁,并为其他入侵城市森林害虫的到来制定计划。当2013年在科罗拉多州博尔德发现翠绿灰螟(Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) (EAB)时,它标志着EAB在美国最西端的发生,威胁着数百万棵种植和归化的灰树,占科罗拉多州城市和河岸森林树冠的25%以上。在博尔德的发现促使了第二个多机构小组的发展,科罗拉多EAB反应小组(CORT)。做好准备并在利益攸关方和主管当局之间建立了工作关系,从而能够迅速、果断和统一地作出反应。我们回顾了一个案例研究:(1)科罗拉多州协作跨部门小组的形成和历史;(2)机构间协作规划和发现后的EAB响应如何支持整个州的社区林业项目;(3)科罗拉多州博尔德市检测后EAB管理计划的制定及其背后的经济效益;(4)科罗拉多州丹佛市正在进行的积极主动的EAB规划和推广工作。

期刊介绍: The journal is inclusive of all subjects, geographical zones and study locations, including trees in urban environments, plantations and natural forests. We welcome papers that consider economic, environmental and social factors and, in particular, studies that take an integrated approach to sustainable management. In considering suitability for publication, attention is given to the originality of contributions and their likely impact on policy and practice, as well as their contribution to the development of knowledge. Special Issues - each year one edition of Forestry will be a Special Issue and will focus on one subject in detail; this will usually be by publication of the proceedings of an international meeting.
