Maine Forestry Service Offers Course on Recognizing Invasive Tree Pests.
Invasive Forest Insect Outreach Volunteer Training - Farmington

Tuesday, August 25th, 2015

Purpose:
To train people to recognize, report and to spread awareness about the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), the emerald ash borer (EAB), hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) and other invasive tree pests.

The best defense for our trees and forests is early detection by people who work with trees, those who enjoy the outdoors, and those involved in community education.

People who work in the woods, tree wardens, park managers, landscapers, gardeners, woodlot owners, land trust members, bird watchers, hikers, anyone who cares about trees in Maine. Participants will also learn how to effectively disseminate information to the public. The Forest Pest Outreach Project will provide materials and guidance for volunteers.
