Save The Trees - Adirondack Forest Pests, Prevention, and Early Detection
Invasive insects present some of the most severe and urgent threats to the health and future of North Country trees - from your favorite apple orchard to the hemlocks holding lake shores in place. Some forest pests were introduced to North America over a century ago, while others are new to the State of New York or are newly discovered in the Adirondacks. In this presentation, the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program will review four top invasive species threatening local trees, and what we can do about it. The four species are Lymantria dispar, Spotted Lanternfly, Emerald Ash Borer and Hemlock Woolly Adelgid.
