Jared Rubinstein, Living Collections Fellow, Arnold Arboretum, and Javier Marin, Forest Pest Outreach Coordinator, Crop & Pest Services, Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, will speak on Tuesday, February 5, 6:00–7:00pm at the Hunnewell Building at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston.
The Arnold Arboretum has a long history of finding innovative ways of responding to threats to the collection from pests and diseases. Come learn about some new and emerging pests in the region and how the Arboretum is trying to get ahead of their arrival. We’ll talk specifically about spotted lanternfly, thousand cankers disease (pictured below, courtesy of the Arbor Day Foundation), southern pine beetle, and winter moth. Fee Free, but registration requested at my.arboretum.harvard.edu or call 617-384-5277.
