Emerald Ash Borer Educational Workshop

Join City of Ithaca Foresty Technician Jeanne Grace and Cornell Entomologist Mark Whitmore for this information session on the Emerald Ash Borer, a pest that is likely to invade ash trees our area in the next 10 years. Emerald Ash Borer was found in Western NY last year and it spreads at a rate of about 20 miles per year unless it is spread via infested firewood. This workshop provides instruction on how to monitor for the pest, the life cycle and what to expect once it arrives. The workshop is open to nursery and tree specialists, and the general public. Note: EAB only affects ASH, so if your property does not have any ash trees, other trees are not affected.

FREE workshop! Because space is limited, we ask that you call (607) 272-2292 to pre-register. Email Maria Christian at mjc72@cornell.edu for more information.
