Event Description
Want to help in the fight with Emerald Ash Borer? We’re looking for First Detectors who want to:
- Become a local expert who can answer EAB biology and management questions.
- Aid in the community preparedness planning process
- Engage others as volunteers to monitor for EAB, conduct street tree inventories, collect ash seed and educate about the issues surrounding Emerald Ash Borer
These training sessions will go over in-depth details on EAB biology, signs and symptoms, hosts, control and management, reporting, and resources through presentations and hands-on field activities at near-by EAB infested locations. Materials have been created by Cornell University and the Northeast Plant Diagnostic Network. These workshops are supported by the Northeastern IPM Center- IPM Partnership Grant.
Who should take this training?
Anyone that is concerned about EAB. But especially if you are a:
- Cornell Cooperative Extension employee
- Cornell Cooperative Extension volunteer (Master Gardener, Master Forest Owner, Master Naturalist, 4-H Leader)
- PRISM partner (Partnerships for Regional Invasive Species Management)
- SWCD or NRCS employee
- Arborist
- Forester
- Landscaper
- Planner
- Environmental Educator
- Municipal Employee
- Community Volunteer
First Detectors can give back.
There is huge public demand for answers on what to do about EAB. As a trained EAB First Detector, you’ll have those answers. We hope that you will be able to help the greater community by sharing your EAB knowledge, participating in community preparedness activities, or monitoring for EAB.
