TREE PANDEMICS-THE CHANGING FACE OF THE EASTERN US FOREST
Sunday, 11/3/2024 at 3:00pm EST (Note: on this date, daylight savings time ends)
In this presentation, North Fulton Master Gardener Carole MacMullan will guide us to step back in time and compare the Eastern US of 1900 to the present and
ever-changing forest of the 21 st century. Unfortunately, our forests over the past 100 years have been severely impacted by the introduction of plant diseases brought into the US as a result of the rapid growth of global trade. Some of these plant diseases were introduced by diseased plant materials and other by insects that hitch-hiked on international transported goods. Some of the diseases that will be discussed are: Chestnut Blight, Dutch Elm Disease, Pine Beetle Disease, Emerald Ash Borer, Hemlock Woolly adelgid and Dogwood anthracnose.
