Learn the status and sources of additional information for management of several key diseases and insect pests of eastern forests.
Insects and diseases affect our ability to grow healthy forests, but there are management tools we can use to minimize the impacts. This webinar will acquaint viewers with the Forest Service’s Forest Health Protection program and provide an update on the status of several major forest pests in the East, including Asian Longhorned Beetle, Emerald Ash Borer, Gypsy Moth, Oak Wilt, Heterobasidion Root Disease, Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, and Thousand Cankers Disease. This update will include a brief overview of management considerations for each pest, and where landowners can go for additional information.
