Branching Out - An Integrated Pest Management Newsletter for Trees and Shrubs was published bi-weekly from mid-April through mid-July and tri-weekly from July through September for a total of 11 issues in the 2000 season. About 625 people in the Northeast subscribed to Branching Out. Their $35.00 subscription fees, together with grants from the New York State Arborists Assoc, the Long Island Arborists, Alpine - The Care of Trees® and the NYS-IPM program allowed us to pay the bills and keep the program going. An additional 80 copies of each issue were distributed free of charge to cooperating scientists in the Northeast and Cooperative Extension offices in New York State.
