Forest Stewardship Polycom Workshop:
Forest Health Update
See the recorded presentation here (Mediasite link)
December 10, 2015, 1-4 PM ET
Insects and diseases are natural components of the forest. Some of these insects and diseases can become pests when they inhibit tree regeneration and growth on a large scale. In addition to native pests, invasive exotic pests are a growing challenge, with new species being introduced every year. This workshop will provide an update on current forest health issues and priorities across Florida with emphasis on proactive management and available assistance.
Questions can be directed to Chris Demers, (352) 846-2375, cdemers@ufl.edu.
