TREE FUND Webinar: Emerald Ash Borer: Strategies for Conserving Ash in the Urban Forest – Nov. 28
TREE FUND is hosting this free webinar on Nov. 28 at 1 p.m. CT. Learn about the research that provides the scientific basis for emerald ash borer (EAB) management and conservation of ash in urban environments. Dr. Herms, VP of Research & Development for The Davey Tree Expert Company, will walk through the results of multi-year insecticide trials with soil applied, trunk injected, and bark applied systemic insecticides which show that protection of even very large caliper ash trees is a viable option to consider as part of an integrated management program for EAB.
