Early Dectector Training for Invasive Forest Pests

  • Wednesday, September 23, 2015, 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Joanna Fisher, a PhD student at Cornell University in the department of Entomology, will be giving interactive First Detector training sessions on emerald ash borer (EAB), hemlock wooly adelgid (HWA) and Asian longhorned beetle (ALB).

At this training session you will learn how to detect and identify these destructive invasive pests. We will also discuss EAB, HWA and ALB biology and management, and talk about how you can get involved in your community to slow the spread of these invasive species. 

This workshop is for anyone interested in natural resources, scouting your property, or entomology.  The more trained folks we have out in the community, the faster we can identify a problem and manage the invasive insect.

This workshop is co-sponsored by CCE Broome and CCE Tioga.  To register, call CCE Broome County at (607) 584-9966.
