Center Scientist Bids Farewell....
Eastern Threat Center research ecologist Ken Stolte recently said farewell after more than 30 years with the Forest Service. Stolte, who retired from the Forestry Sciences Lab in Research Triangle Park, NC, was involved in several research efforts. He led citizen scientists who assisted with exotic plant surveys, developed forest monitoring systems for unique forest systems, and monitored forest health and sustainability. He also located and monitored exotic invasive plant species and developed risk maps and models. Stolte is looking forward to traveling and spending time with family. We’ll miss you!
