[MAIPC] Invasive Holiday Plants & Pests

[Marc Imlay]

Hi APWG,

 

I work for the Nature Conservancy’s Cool Green Science blog.


We’re featuring a story on how to avoid spreading invasives during the holiday season from avoiding plants like Asian bittersweet in wreaths to properly disposing of a tree to minimize the risk of spreading forest pests: http://blog.nature.org/science/2016/12/07/holiday-tips-dont-spread-forest-pests-with-your-christmas-tree/


I thought you would be interested. Happy holidays!

Cheers,

Lisa
