Do you have ash trees on your property? Are they healthy? Will the
Emerald Ash Borer be a threat? This workshop will include information on
ash identification, a review of 
common ash diseases, and signs of Emerald Ash Borer.  Jeanne Grace,
City of Ithaca Forestry Technician will provide an overview of the common
ash species in our area and how to identify them.  Dr. George
Hudler, Cornell Plant Pathologist specializing in woody plant diseases,
will talk about ash dieback and decline. Mark Whitmore, Entomologist with
the Dept of Natural Resources will talk about what to expect from Emerald
Ash Borer and how to plan for the pest.  The workshop is free and
