Our anniversary report was built around broad themes told through stories that wove together material old and new. This thematic approach showed how IPM has grown and flexed over time while remaining true to its roots. Our themes included research (with an emphasis on the long-term systems trials that defined our approach from the start); education and communication; forecasting and scouting; organic agriculture; school and community IPM; and invasive and emerging pests. We illustrated each thematic story with three or four mini-stories and included a trio of stand-alone stories — important pieces that didn’t fit neatly into our themes. Even our director’s letter was a teaching piece, one that places NYS IPM’s history and future within the matrix of this international movement.
