Managing Emerald Ash Borer & Enhancing Urban Forest Resiliency Webinar
Friday, March 26th
1pm-2:30pm
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive insect that is killing ash trees in Jefferson County and other areas of Northern New York. For trees affected, near 100% mortality occurs within two to four years. In New York State, ash trees comprise roughly 7 to 25% of forests and is commonly used for landscaping. Whether you own or manage ash trees in an urban landscape or in a forest setting EAB will impact you. This webinar will provide you with research-based information on how to manage emerald ash borer and maintain the health of your urban forests in the path of this invasive pest.
