from Cornell University Regarding Emerald Ash Border.
WEBINAR Announcement –
Emerald Ash Borer in New York: The Insect, The
Impact, and Your Options
The emerald ash borer (EAB) was detected in western New York on June 14, 2009. Although the
insect was anticipated, its presence will result in significant changes in both
rural and urban woodlands throughout the state. In other states,
infestation by EAB resulted in significant losses among all ash species and
unexpected stress on rural and urban owners, communities and businesses.
An Internet webinar will be offered on Thursday June 25 at 10:00 AM
(eastern). Participation in the webinar requires a high-speed Internet
connection and speakers to listen. The webinar will address the insect,
its potential impact in New York,
options for management, and identify sources of information. The webinar
will be interactive and presented by Mark Whitmore of the Cornell University
Department of Natural Resources. The webinar is free, but participants
must register through www.ForestConnect.info
to receive the URL to connect. More information about webinars is available
at the ForestConnect website. The webinar will
be recorded and available for subsequent viewing. Webinar technology is made
available through Cornell University Cooperative Extension. More
information about the emerald ash borer in New York is available at http://nyis.info
If you have previously registered for webinars through ForestConnect,
you do not need to re-register.
