This training manual is presented in a printed version and as an enhanced, interactive electronic version. This material is intended to provide the information necessary for you to meet the standards of the Environmental Protection Agency for pesticide certification in the Forest Pest Control category and to prepare you to take your state certification examination, based on this manual. This manual is not designed to provide you with all of the information needed for forest pest control. See publications listed in the “Suggested Reading” section of this manual for additional information on pest control and forest management. For other materials and for information on short courses, contact the University Cooperative Extension Service, State Forestry Commissions/Departments and the USDA Forest Service offices. This manual is designed to complement, not to take the place of, the information contained in the 1996 revision of the EPA manual, Applying Pesticides Correctly: A Guide for Commercial Applicators. The electronic version of this manual has similar content to the printed version, allows for increased use of color visuals, and allows for user interaction. This revised printed and CD-ROM Manual was developed by The Bugwood Work Group, based in Tifton, Georgia, USA. The Work Group is a cooperative effort between personnel in The Department of Entomology in The College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and The Warnell School of Forest Resources at The University of Georgia.
