For much of the state, July was warmer and drier than average. July’s statewide average temperature was 68.3°F, about 3°F warmer than normal. Temperatures are expected to continue to be likely above average for August and the next two months (National Weather Service).
An average total of 2.36 inches of rain was seen during the month, roughly 2.40 inches less than July of last year. At the end of July, roughly 4% of the state had abnormally dry conditions. However, a pattern of reduced rainfall in Central and Southern Maine and intensely warm temperatures led to a flash drought that continued into the middle of August affecting almost 80% of the state. Rain totals are expected to be near normal throughout August and the next two months (National Weather Service).
The southern two-thirds of Maine are currently experiencing a flash drought, with some areas of the state categorized as abnormally dry to severe drought. These conditions can lead to discolored foliage or leaf drop, dry soils, low water levels in streams, reservoirs, and wells, and at times, can lead to increased fire danger. Leaves of hardwood species can turn color or drop early during periods of drought to avoid drought stress.
Maine Forest Service Rangers have responded to an above-normal number of wildfires in the last 30 days, and fire danger continues to be moderate to very high. Please be sure to check the daily Wildfire Danger Report and consult with local fire officials before conducting any open burning. Drought conditions are expected to continue but may improve with forecasted periods of decent rainfall, especially in the peak of hurricane season.
Aerial Survey Season Recap
The core aerial survey season wrapped up in early August, ending with a Downeast flight that revealed substantial areas of beech leaf disease, mortality from red pine scale, and ridgetops with discolored hardwoods suffering from drought conditions now gripping the southern part of Maine. Along the way, ranger pilot and budding entomologist Jeff Miller also pointed out an interesting site he discovered during his other pilot duties – a forest almost entirely entombed in white silk from an abundant fall webworm population.
Image: One of the more interesting sights during aerial survey in 2025 was this large area with treetops fully encased in webbing from fall webworm. From the air, these webs were glowing white on a bright and sunny survey day.
Unlike 2024 and much like 2023, our aerial survey season was hampered by chronic Canadian wildfire smoke, although we were still able to accomplish what needed to get done. Like 2024, perhaps the most widespread issue in 2025 was the white pine needle damage disease complex, spanning every portion of Maine where white pine grows. In southern Maine, York and Cumberland counties finally achieved a level of damage from emerald ash borer mortality where several pockets of dead ash are now visible from the air. Following the collapse of the spongy moth outbreak that affected southern Oxford County for several years, some additional mortality was mapped this season, in addition to the roughly 8,000 acres previously mapped in 2024. In Midcoast Maine, winter moth remains a persistent defoliator, occupying the same peninsulas from the greater Bath area to Deer Isle. Downeast, the major issues remain red pine scale and beech leaf disease. Beech leaf disease damage is also becoming apparent from the air in more parts of Maine each season.
Northern Maine remains an area of utmost concern, with simultaneous issues stemming from both forest tent caterpillar and spruce budworm. While we received fewer reports of forest tent caterpillar (FTC) feeding in 2025 than 2024, and had hoped this meant population collapse, aerial survey told a different story, indicating that FTC is still quite active over a large geographic area in Aroostook County. A recent trip to Fort Kent also revealed that in addition to defoliation, there is also dieback and limited mortality to aspen in heavily affected areas. Hopefully the true extent of this damage will be revealed next season, as we believe FTC should be in decline, with lower populations and presence of caterpillar-killing pathogens in the core areas that help to resolve outbreaks. On a positive note, FTC aerial spray operations in 2025 appear to have dramatically reduced damage levels from FTC in privately managed treatments of sugarbushes in northern Somerset County.
As for spruce budworm, our first flight of the season resulted in an initial scare, as we saw significant areas of discolored spruce-fir on the horizon. As we got closer, we were relieved to learn that these areas were across the Canadian border, and not in the areas of Maine treated during the aerial spray program in spring 2025. In some cases, the difference in treated versus non-treated areas was visible from one side of the road to the next, where roads were used as the boundary of a particular spray block. While treatments in the forested areas of northern Maine appear visually successful, untreated areas of spruce-fir forest type growing closer to human populations still show visible damage in 2025. Efforts are underway to see whether these areas can be treated in 2026. Landowners in northern Maine interested in potentially being included in a spruce budworm treatment response in 2026 can reach out to our office or fill out our on-line interest form.
While acreages must still be calculated and maps are yet to be made for the 2025 season, we hope this summary provides an interesting snapshot of what we’re seeing from the air across Maine.
Insects
Barklice (Psocidae): What’s the word on the herd?
As the summer unfolds, inquiries of barklice follow. Barklice, or psocids, are small soft bodied insects which are often seen in groups or tiny herds on the surface of tree bark. They are members of the insect order, Psocoptera, with Cerastipsocus venosus (tree cattle) being one of the most common species in Maine. These psocids appear in July as mobile patches of tiny tan specks on the bark of various hardwoods and conifers, usually preferring smooth bark. They can also be found on rocks, fence posts, picnic tables, etc. Individuals are less than 3/16 inches (5 mm) long. Psocids bear some resemblance to aphids, but are primarily differentiated by their chewing mouthparts. They feed on lichens, fungi, mold, and other superficial plant materials. As they mature, they become grayer with lighter crossbanding. Psocids usually develop wings in mid- to late- August and are then seen less frequently as they travel to lay eggs and overwinter. Expect to see them in their adult form soon, with dark smokey gray wings and a triangular light spot on each forewing. The wings are held almost vertically over the body at rest, in roof-like form. Adult females deposit their eggs singly or in small clutches on the bark or wherever the group finds its food, and cover each mass with a series of tiny silk strands. While these silk webs may look intimidating, they cause no harm to trees, nor do the barklice themselves. Since they cause no damage, controls are not necessary.

Browntail Moth (Euproctis chrysorrhoea)
Normally in August, browntail moth caterpillars hatch from their egg masses and begin feeding on the late summer host foliage. This year, we’ve had some trouble tracking down browntail moth egg masses to monitor their development. Browntail egg masses can be difficult to spot, but they are typically found on the underside of oak, apple, cherry, elm, birch and other hardwood host leaves. Although we know there are still pockets of high populations of browntail moth across the state, tracking their development may have to wait until we can see trees with feeding damage from newly hatched browntail moth caterpillars.
Image: Browntail moth egg mass on underside of host leaf.
Feeding damage from emerged browntail caterpillars can be identified by monitoring host trees for copper-colored leaves in late August. Because these young caterpillars are too small to eat all parts of the late summer leaves, they graze only the outer surface, leaving behind the leaf skeleton. Over time, this process of skeletonization causes the leaf to die and turn a copper color – a clue we use to identify browntail feeding in late summer.
We are looking for reports from the public of recently hatched browntail caterpillars or browntail egg masses. Here’s what to look for:
Small 1/4” long and hairy caterpillars,
Two dark spots of tiny hairs near the caterpillar’s head,
Two red-orange characteristic spots near the caterpillar’s end,
Less than 1” oval or circular-shaped light brown hair-covered egg mass on the undersides of leaves,
Bronze or copper-colored leaves,
Silk webbing on only a few leaves or small branch.

Your observations of the newly-hatched browntail caterpillars will help us understand where the browntail moth is most active in the state. Please take a couple of photos of the caterpillars or egg masses and email them to us at foresthealth@maine.gov.
Hickory Tussock Moth (Lophocampa caryae)
It’s that time of the year again: beautiful and often spectacular tussock moth caterpillars are out and feeding. It is a good time for a reminder that bright, dramatic, hairy caterpillars are often that way for a good reason. They may be warning predators that they have defensive chemicals in their hairs and are not good to eat. It is a good idea to look and appreciate, but not touch hairy caterpillars, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Tussock moths are not as toxic as browntail moths, and their hairs generally do not float through the air to cause problems the way browntail moth hairs can. However, touching them with bare skin can lead to an itchy rash. The fuzzy cocoons contain hairs and can also cause a rash. Cocoons are often found among leaf litter, so use caution when raking if you have seen many tussock moth caterpillars.
The black and white hickory tussock moth is one of several native tussock moths that are currently feeding in Maine. It rarely causes problems for trees. The eggs are often laid in large batches and in some years young caterpillars may heavily defoliate a tree before they begin to wander. However, because they feed so late in the season, this is unlikely to cause any lasting harm to the tree. This is not a caterpillar that generally needs to be managed but should be appreciated from a few inches away.

Red Pine Scale (Matsucoccus matsumurae)
Red pine scale continues to expand its footprint in Maine. Over the past year, MFS staff concentrated on mapping existing infestations across the state. Many of the new towns added in 2025 were located through aerial survey, which allowed staff to identify older infestations which had previously gone unreported. This effort provided a clearer picture of areas where red pine has already suffered significant mortality.
There are two distinct areas of red pine scale affecting the state, one of which was identified in 2014 when it was found in and around Acadia National Park. That detection marked the start of an infestation that continues to persist in Downeast Maine, having since spread further northward from Mount Desert Island. Several years later, in 2020, red pine scale was also found in the southern tip of Maine, in York County. Rather than leapfrogging across the state from the initial state introduction, this population likely drifted across the border from southern New Hampshire, where a population had been established for several years.
So far this year, aerial survey has detected red pine scale in seven new towns in Downeast Maine and seven towns in southern Maine. In addition, three towns in York County were added through ground surveys, one of which was first brought to our attention by a member of the public.
Image: Red pine scale is present in two main regions of Maine. Map: G. LeMay
The maturity of the detected infestations ranged from early symptoms to complete tree mortality. Initially infested trees usually start to show reddening of needles throughout the crown, which later drop over the course of several years, leaving older infestations to appear as multiple trees bare of needles. These symptoms are distinct and visible from the air, particularly in planted red pine, where every tree is showing similar symptoms. In some stands, the advance of the scale can be seen as a gradient of foliage color across the landscape, with healthy green trees transitioning to olive green and then into red as the infestation moves through.
Image: Mature infestations eventually result in trees lacking needles.
On the ground, crown reddening can be a helpful symptom to detect red pine scale, though partial symptoms, such as scattered branch dieback or discolored foliage, can be misleading because they may be caused by unrelated issues like salt injury along highways, drought stress, or fungal needle diseases and blights.
Spruce Budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana) Field Workshop
Despite the scorching temperatures, representatives from the Maine Forest Service, University of Maine (Fort Kent & Orono), Maine Budworm Response Coalition, Maine Board of Pesticides Control, Maine Inland Fish & Wildlife, and our counterparts from the State of New Hampshire got together in Northern Aroostook County last week for spruce budworm-focused discussions and demonstrations. The goal of the workshop was to review monitoring and management activities over the past year(s) and extend these lessons to those still awaiting budworm arrival, namely New Hampshire. Topics covered included pheromone trap monitoring, L2 monitoring, field survey tools and techniques, and well as rules, regulations, and logistics. The discussions were helpful for all involved as we prepare for an ongoing response to spruce budworm in Maine and the region.

Diseases and Environmental Issues
Beech Leaf Disease (Litylenchuscrenatae)
Beech leaf disease (BLD) continues to be found in new areas of the state with the disease confirmed across large portions of the southern half of the state. Currently, the most northern area with confirmed BLD is in the town of Merrill in Aroostook County. BLD is now found in 370 Maine towns and 273 of these towns have been confirmed in the past 20 months.
BLD long-term monitoring plot work was completed during the end of July and early August. This year was the first time we recorded mortality of mature beech trees due to BLD since monitoring plots were established in 2021, the year BLD was confirmed in Maine. Based on mortality observations from southern New England where BLD has been present for a few years longer than in Maine, we can expect mortality rates to rise steadily in the coming years.
Beech Leaf Disease Treatment Updates
Work on BLD management trials has concluded for 2025 with 12 more trees treated with Arbotect 20S (thiabenzadole) via macroinjection at four new sites. The trees selected for treatment in 2025 all showed high resistance to beech bark disease, so treating these trees serves two purposes: to demonstrate how well thiabenzadole limits BLD symptoms and to protect the rare beech bark disease-resistant genetics of these trees.
In addition to the potassium phosphite soil drench treatment trial at Viles Arboretum (ongoing since 2023), MFS Forest Pathology added a potassium phosphite bark drench replicate to that trial, including 12 trees in the three different size classes included in the soil drench trial. Also, bark drench trials have been initiated at six other sites including a total of 29 trees. This brings the total of BLD-infected trees included in potassium phosphite bark drench trials to 41.
Since the results of our BLD treatment trials in Maine are forthcoming, MFS is promoting adherence to guidelines developed during BLD treatment trials in other states. It is important for applicators to understand that timing of applications is a very important aspect of all of the currently available treatments and there is no ‘one-and-done’ application for treating BLD at this time.
Macroinjections of thiabenzadole (Arbotect 20S) must be completed in June or July in order to achieve reliable symptom reduction in the following year. Injections must be repeated every 2 to 3 years to maintain BLD symptom control and tree health.
For bark drenches and soil drenches of potassium phosphite, two treatments must be applied about one month apart between the beginning of May and the end of August. These treatments must be done every year to maintain tree health.
Next year we will be very interested to see the extent to which BLD symptoms are prevented in the macroinjected, soil drenched and bark drenched trees. We are cautiously optimistic that the applied treatments in our trials will be successful and that these efforts will lead to Maine-specific information and tools we can share with beech tree owners who want to protect their valued trees.
Chrysomyxa needle rusts of spruce (Chrysomyxa spp.)
Most spruce species (Picea spp.) are susceptible to rust fungi in the genus Chrysomyxa. There are a few species from this genus in Maine that cause symptoms of needle discoloration and growths on needles leading to needle loss. MFS has received a few reports of Chrysomyxa needle rusts this season, which is a bit unusual and therefore of interest. Chrysomyxa species, like many rust fungi, require an alternate plant species host to complete their life cycles. Alternate hosts found in Maine include labrador tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum), leather leaf (Chamaedaphne calyculata) and bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi). Without the combination of the tree host, plant host and optimal environmental conditions, disease development will not occur. There is also a closely related rust, Ceropsora weirii (formerly Chrysomyxa weirii) that does not require an alternate host. Due to the similarity in appearance of spruce needle rust fungi symptoms, it is important to correctly identify spruce needle rusts before attempting management.
Disease symptoms are mostly found in the bottom half of spruce tree crowns where there is typically more available moisture for disease development. Symptoms are seldom severe, but aesthetic impacts in landscape settings may prompt management. In these cases, mancozeb or fungicides containing chlorothalonil can be used to protect needles just before budbreak and at regular intervals based on the product label until needles are fully elongated and mature (typically by mid-summer). Cultural practices may work very well in managing Chrysomyxa needle rusts of spruce: limiting moisture is key. Ensure that irrigation systems do not hit spruce foliage, space trees to allow airflow to enhance drying when foliage does get wet. Also, if alternate hosts are found in the area or planted nearby, consider removing them (if practical) to avoid persistent problems.

Oak Leaf Drop
In recent weeks, several reports of oak dropping leaves have been reported in different parts of Maine (Brooksville, Corinth, Hermon and Hollis, to name a few). All of these have been checked via site visits by MFS staff. While some of the fallen leaves have been impacted by low levels of fungal infection, insect feeding and other damage, water deficit has been the likely cause of defoliation in all cases. Summer defoliation of oak trees could be a symptom of oak wilt (Bretziella fagacearum) infection. Oak wilt has not been found in Maine and the closest known location for the disease in in New York state. However, oak wilt could make its way to Maine with the help of human transport of infected trees or firewood. Thus, we strongly encourage the reporting of oaks dropping leaves during the growing season or unexplained oak mortality.
Water Deficit and Trees
Water is a critical resource for tree growth and health. Broad-leaf trees and conifers show drought stress in a combination of symptoms including drooping, wilting, chlorosis (yellowing), spotting, necrosis/desiccation of leaf tissues at leaf margins, and leaf curl. Physiological changes that we don’t see include dramatically slowed photosynthesis, protein synthesis, respiration and other important processes for tree growth and defense. Thus, water deficit can further harm trees by predisposing them to opportunistic pathogens and insects that are specialized in targeting struggling trees.
In some cases, the presence of insect damage or pathogens may exacerbate drought symptoms. This is currently seen especially in beech trees infected with beech leaf disease, as symptomatic leaves are characterized by poor water use efficiency. Leaf feeding damage and mechanical damage may also enhance drought symptoms and impacts.
Different species react differently in water deficit situations, with some species more tolerant than others. For example, in conifers, older needles usually show symptoms first and are the first foliage to drop during drought conditions. In deciduous trees, leaves typically begin to dry at the margins before they are shed as a defense mechanism against further water loss. If leaf loss due to drought happens later in the growing season, trees may not re-leaf and instead opt for early dormancy. Progressive death of twigs and branches is an advanced symptom of drought stress in deciduous and coniferous trees. Logically, shallow-rooted species are more susceptible to drought than deeply rooted species able to access moisture lower in the soil profile.
Regardless of species, site characteristics are often the greatest determining factor in drought severity. Trees growing under conditions like sandy soils, on south-facing slopes and shallow soils on ledge will show signs of drought ahead of those grown on better sites. Similarly, trees planted on lawns and near hardscaping that are not regularly irrigated are at greater risk of drought-related symptoms than trees in most forest settings where shaded organic soils are able to hold more water for longer periods. Larger trees tend to have greater reserves and larger root systems than seedlings and saplings and are therefore more resilient to drought.
There are no trees species in the northeastern forest that are highly drought tolerant, since extended periods of drought have historically not been a selective pressure leading to this particular adaptation in northeastern trees.

Invasive Plant Highlight
Off-Road Vehicles: How Invasive Plants Can Spread Through ATVs
Invasive plants spread from the movement of seeds or plant and root fragments, depending on the species. There are many avenues for these seeds and fragments to spread, and it’s especially important to know about how we may contribute. Road vehicles, for instance, spread invasive plants by transporting viable seeds and plant fragments to another location, primarily through seeds and fragments that are stuck on tires and other vehicle surfaces. The distance vehicles can move seeds is far greater than if they moved naturally, contributing to their invasion of previously uninvaded areas. It is also common to see invasive plants in disturbed sites along paved roads for this reason – with roadsides acting as corridors for invasive species to spread. These invasive corridors, seeded by road vehicles, can then act as a seed source for other nearby disturbed areas.
While vehicles on the road can spread invasive plants, off-highway vehicles (OHVs), utility task vehicles (UTVs), and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are able to spread them with even more disturbance and without the constraints of a paved road. Off-road vehicles pick up a much greater number of invasive seeds and plant fragments and expand the range of infestation while traveling. This is caused by driving past and through invasive plant seed sources, where seeds and mud can adhere to vehicle surfaces and tires. Whether you are using your off-road vehicle for recreation, farming, construction, transportation, or logging, it is important to understand how you may contribute to the spread of invasive plant species and how to prevent the spread as a responsible off-roader.
There are many ways to mitigate your impact on the spread of invasive species while off-roading. Ensure that you are staying on designated ATV trails, as adventuring off trail puts novel and undisturbed environments at risk of invasion. Riding off trail will most likely attach more mud, seeds, and plant fragments to your vehicle’s wheels and undercarriage. Plus, the possible ruts and disturbance made off trail will create space for invasive plants to spread to. If you are aware of an invaded area, inform the landowner and make sure not to drive through the invasive plant populations. Make it a habit to bring a boot brush with you on off-roading adventures; this will help brush off any mud, seeds, or plant fragments from your boots, clothing, tires, and any gear before and after your adventure. Regardless of whether you are driving off-trail or not, it is especially important to pay close attention to vehicle parts that are more likely to have mud and debris (tires, fenders, undercarriage, bumpers, etc.) and make sure all mud and plant matter are removed. It is helpful to have a portable washing device for spraying your vehicle onsite before leaving. If you don’t have a portable washing device, make sure to wash your vehicle at a designated site where you can monitor any invasive species that may take root in the area. Spraying on impervious surfaces like pavement is recommended, but make sure to monitor for invasive plants that may come up where the pavement ends.
To learn more about how invasive species can spread through ATVs, visit playcleango.org or read the research article “Hitching a ride: Seed accrual rates on different types of vehicles”. If you find an invasive plant, make sure to document the location’s coordinates and make a record with a clear and up-close photo or on the iMapInvasives Mobile App for your smartphone. To learn more about invasive plants, visit the “Invasive Plants in Maine” page on the MNAP website.

This Month in Conditions Report History: August 6, 1997
Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica) – Adults are now very active and appear to be at or down from 1996 levels. Parasitism by what appears to be the dipterous parasite, Istocheta aldrichi (identification based on the presence of white eggs on the beetle pronotum) is again locally high. This parasite may have reduced populations in some older infestations inland by 30-50%.
