This is the draft of an article in press about a survey of the impact of dogwood anthracnose on the flowering dogwood trees in Catoctin Mountain Park, MD. The study was in follow-up to surveys in 1984 and 1988 conducted on study plots in the park. In 10 years there has been a 94% loss in dogwoods in the study plots. An estimate of loss in the entire park was obtained using previous park vegetation surveys.
