On Monday, November 12 from 9:00 am – 11:30 am, The Gardens at SIUE with support from the Illinois Arborist Association (IAA) and the Southwestern Illinois RC&D will host a professional development seminar in Birger Hall on the campus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
Dr. Dan Herms from Ohio State University will discuss the Emerald Ash Borer Invasion: The Beginning of the End of Ash in North America. Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) has killed millions of ash trees including healthy trees on high quality sites since its accidental importation from Asia. This is creating a wood-borer outbreak of unprecedented intensity and has the potential to decimate ash throughout North America with impacts reminiscent of chestnut blight and Dutch elm disease. The seminar will review the current status of the EAB invasion, diagnostics and host impacts, and management options, as well as research on ecological impacts of EAB on forest and communities and EAB / host interactions from a coevolutionary perspective.
The registration cost before November 1st is $10 per person, $7 per person for Friends of The Gardens at SIUE and IAA members. After November 1 or at the door the registration cost is $20 for all persons. Seating is limited.
