The Native Plant Trust community invites you to join us to celebrate Dr. Daigle and to learn more about his research.

Dr. John Daigle is a citizen member of the Penobscot Nation and Professor of Forest Recreation Management at the University of Maine, Orono. At the center of his research is a project mobilizing diverse interests to address potential threats from invasive species in Maine – specifically the emerald ash borer (EAB). 

In 2023, Dr. Daigle created Ash Protection Collaboration Across Wabanakik, whose goal is to provide forest caretakers with strategies supported by both research and Tribal Nations to protect the future of the culturally significant brown ash species.
