COMTF Organization

The California Oak Mortality Task Force (COMTF) is a coalition of research/educational institutions, public agencies, non-profit organizations, and private interests. Its primary purpose is to coordinate a comprehensive and unified program of research, management, monitoring, education, and public policy addressing elevated levels of oak mortality in California resulting from Sudden Oak Death (SOD).

The Task Force was formed in August 2000 by joining two emerging efforts to address Sudden Oak Death statewide: (1) a resolution of the California Forest Pest Council (CFPC) and (2) an initiative from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF). The Task Force is overseen by the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection and Resources Agency. It is also a committee of the California Forest Pest Council.
