“The Maine Forest Service is seeking information from Maine landowners who may be interested in participating in a spruce budworm early intervention program in the future. The program would involve subsidized insecticide treatments of spruce-fir forestlands with building SBW populations.
Eligible areas in Maine meeting conditions such as spruce budworm populations, forest type, operability and clear ownership boundaries will be considered for inclusion in the 2026 Spruce Budworm Treatment Program. Fill out this form to indicate interest in consideration of the program. This does not constitute an “Opt In” to the program, just initial interest. It is most likely that operations in 2026 will be concentrated in far northern Aroostook County, however, feel free to include data from other regions in this form for potential future programs.”
