Virtual Event

Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) has been detected in Newport for the first time, thanks to the monitoring efforts of the University of Rhode Island and the Newport Tree Conservancy.

So, what’s next? Join Joe Verstandig (NTC living collections manager) and URI entomologist Lisa Tewksbury as they discuss the arrival of this destructive pest to Aquidneck Island. Important information regarding the EAB itself, as well as how to identify whether you have an ash tree and what options you have regarding treatment and removal, will be discussed. There will be time for questions at the end of the program. This virtual lecture will be held via Google Meet.
