Profile

Dr. Coyle joined the faculty in 2018 with a focus on forest health and invasive species Extension. Prior to Clemson, he created and directed the Southern Forest Health and Invasive Species program, which provided education and training to forestry professionals across the southeastern U.S. Dr. Coyle uses various forms of communication - including social media, traditional writing, and in-person visits - to help educate people about forest health, invasive species, and forest management. He is a member of the Society of American Foresters and the Entomological Society of America, has served on the Board of Directors for the North American Invasive Species Management Association and ProForest. He is a permanent member of the South Carolina Invasive Species Advisory Committee.

Research Interests

My research is focused on a) the impacts of invasive species, and b) forest and tree health and management. What are the ecological and economic impacts of invasive species? Can we improve our management of invasive species by finding and utilize new control methods? Can we help trees become more resistant to pests through tree care techniques and silvicultural management?

Extension and Outreach

My Extension program provides forest and tree health information for landowners and professionals in South Carolina and throughout the southeastern U.S. I work closely with the Forestry and Natural Resources, Horticulture, and other Clemson Extension teams. I run the Bradford Pear Bounty Programs in South Carolina.
