Monitoring and Managing Ash Workshop Series

August 2, 2019 @ 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm

 

August Single-Session Monitoring and Managing Ash (MaMA) Training Workshops

Learn how to conserve ash and manage emerald ash borer (EAB) – the future of ash is in your hands!

 

The MaMA program of the Ecological Research Institute (see www.MonitoringAsh.org) provides constructive actions to take at each stage of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) invasion, including even pre-invasion and the final invasion stage, when almost all of an area’s ash area have been killed by this invasive beetle. In this free workshop, you’ll learn how to mitigate EAB damage, and more importantly to detect naturally occurring EAB-resistant native ash, which provide great hope for ash conservation. You’ll learn how to use MaMA’s citizen-science projects, including the MaMA Monitoring Plots Network, which reaches from New England to the Midwest, and the MaMA Lingering Ash Search project, in which you report locations of trees that are likely EAB-resistant. Most importantly, you’ll learn why it’s necessary to leave some standing live ash trees, especially healthy ones.

 

MaMA’s development and implementation have been in close collaboration with the US Forest Service scientists leading the search for and propagation of EAB-resistant native ash, and by helping to find these trees, you can help save ash from extinction. This workshop’s hands-on training includes setting up an actual ash monitoring plot to help detect resistant ash.
