In Partnership with ISA Michigan

The GAA is excited to partner with ISA Michigan on a series of webinars throughout the summer. The lineup includes excellent speakers on a range of topics. The first in the series is: 

COMBATING BORING
INSECTS IN TREES

Kendra Wagner, Research Scientist, Rainbow Ecoscience 

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.

About the speaker: 

Your personal Zoom link to access the webinar will be emailed separately by ISA Michigan two (2) days before the event. You WILL NOT receive the link at the time of registration
