Know Your Ash: Planning for the Emerald Ash Borer

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 open to the public.  Pre-registration is requested due to limited space at the Cooperative Extension building.
