Tent Caterpillars, Gypsy Moths, Hemlock Woolly Adelgid - Forest Pests in Wayne County, Pennsylvania

Nov. 13, 2009 - PRLog -- Tent Caterpillars, Gypsy Moths, Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, Emerald Ash Borer, Asian Longhorned Beetle, just to name a few. What is here now, and what is headed our way? Which "bugs" attack which trees? Will they affect the health of my forest? How do I know if I have a problem? Isn't there some way to stop this!

Wayne Conservation District, in partnership with PA-DCNR, is holding a Forest Pests presentation at the Wayne County Park Street Complex on Thursday, Nov. 19th at 6:30pm. The focus of the evening will be to update landowners on the pests affecting our area, as well as others that are headed our way. Landowners will also receive information on programs available to assist them with forest management. In addition, Wayne Conservation District has invited numerous area Forestry Consultants and Aerial Spray Applicators/Consultants to be on hand to discuss management, monitoring, and control options with landowners.

The presentation is free and open to forest landowners of Wayne County and surrounding areas. Doors will open at 6:00pm, with the program starting at 6:30pm. For more information contact Paul Reining, Forest Specialist at (570) 253-0930 or email preining@co.wayne.pa.us
