Sudden Oak Death Research at Cal-Poly State University

The loss of oak woodlands to both urban and agricultural development is occurring at an increasing rate. The potential loss from Sudden Oak Death could have an even greater impact on these forests in the future if nothing is done. Gaining knowledge, through science, that can justify the management of oak woodlands for their resource values will help to conserve this valuable forest ecosystem.
