Emerging Tree Pests Team Outreach
Master Gardener Harriet Shaham of the newly formed Master Gardener Emerging Tree Pests team, will answer questions about pests that are a devastating threat to our trees in Southern California.
BEWARE! THE GOLDSPOTTED OAK BORER IS IN TOWN.
These exotic, invasive pests are causing increasingly extensive damage to Southern California’s urban trees, forests, and citrus and avocado groves. Tree decline and death can result in public safety hazards due to falling limbs, increased fire danger, and increased flood risk due to blockages of water ways. It can also contribute to decreased property values, increased air and noise pollution, habitat loss for endangered birds and other wildlife, as well as a loss of ecosystem services, which includes cooling, water filtration, and carbon sequestration.The Master Gardener EPT (Emerging Pests Team) will discuss and answer questions about pests that are a devastating threat to our trees in Southern California.
