Combating Boring Insects in Trees: This webinar offers a comprehensive examination of wood-boring insects and their implications for tree health. We will dissect the biology, behavior, and ecological significance of key species such as the emerald ash borer and Asian longhorn beetle. Arborists and landscape managers will gain valuable insights into proactive management strategies, including cultural practices and emerging biological controls. By exploring science-based approaches, attendees will be equipped to mitigate the impact of wood boring insects on urban and natural landscapes, fostering resilience and sustainability in tree care practices.
