We invite you to click here to see color photos of tent caterpillars, swallow worts, and other environmental projects. More updates and photos to appear as soon as possible.
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
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.
