In preparing this report, we began with an extensive interview survey to capture experiences, ideas, and questons from forest managers and scientists who worked in Maine's forest during the outbreak. Interviews were conducting in person by skilled researchers with experience in the budworm field. The responses were collated and have been noted as appropriate in the text. A detailed summary of the interview responses is on file with the MFS. We then reviewed pertinent literature, emphasizing local reports and the principle synthesis volumes recently issued.
