[Phytodoer at aol.com]

Dear forest pest  mavens & others: 
I ask you to  consider participating in the 12th meeting of the Continental 
Dialogue  on Non-Native Forest Insects and Diseases – in Indianapolis on 
November 14 &  15. 
Registration is now  open at http://www.cvent.com/d/xfqdrx/4W  
Our agenda includes  presentations or discussions on 
·         Current pest issues in Indiana and the broader MidWest, e.g., 
thousand cankers disease and Asian  longhorned beetle 
·         Post-EAB invasion wave efforts to protect or restore both urban 
and  wildland forests 
·         The variety of citizen-engagement programs now under  way 
·         Efforts to improve federal policies re: forest pests – possible  
amendments to the Farm bill, other approaches, engaging the new 
Administration  (whoever wins!) 
The full agenda will  be posted at the registration site soon. 
------------------- 
I have posted a new  blog at _www.cisp.us_ (http://www.cisp.us/)    This 
blog focuses on the  widespread presence of Phytophthora  species in native 
plant nurseries in California – and asks whether a similar  risk exists in 
other states. 
This blog makes my  41st posting in 1 year.  I hope you have found them 
informative.  I can provide compilations of the blogs  if you wish to have a 
complete set. 
Faith
