Viburnum Leaf Beetle 

We're calling upon gardeners, youth and others to help us learn more about viburnum leaf beetles -- an exotic pest that's marching across the northeast and decimating viburnum shrubs both in natural areas and landscape plantings.


Also visit the project website http://www.hort.cornell.edu/vlb for more details, pictures and in the news section more fliers to help advertise this opportunity for citizen young and older to engage in real world science.

Here's a one page flier that allows more insight into this beetle....click here please

 




Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence County

Community Forestry Program



Community forestry deals with planning for, establishing and maintaining healthy tree populations in the public domain: roadsides, parks, playgrounds, schools, and the like. Cooperative Extension's Community Forestry Program provides training, educational materials and other support to people responsible for tree care such as village and town officials, grounds managers, tree care professionals and interested citizens.
