The Emerald Ash Borer (*Agrilus planipennis*) is one of our most serious
invasive insect pests and has killed millions of ash trees from Michigan to
Maryland.  It continues to spread into the Southeast.  However, all hope is
not lost.  Uninfected ash trees, resprouts, saplings and seedlings can be
protected with help from biological and chemical control, providing
opportunities for ash forest regeneration and restoration.  This workshop
will provide urban forest managers, park managers, land managers,
landowners and others with the latest information on how to protect ash
from EAB infestation using integrated pest management.

I hope you can make it. Please help spread the word about this workshop. If
you have any questions, please email me.

Thank you,

Jil
