Tuesday, January 25th @ 12:00-1:00 p.m.

Professor Tony D’Amato will discuss potential strategies for prioritizing ash preservation to meet ecological, silvicultural, and cultural objectives.

The introduced emerald ash borer threatens to functionally eliminate ash from forests in the northeastern United States generating significant cultural, ecological, and economic impacts.  Effective insecticide treatments exist for protecting mature ash trees; however, these have largely been considered in the context of residential or urban settings.  Given the importance of ash, culturally to Indigenous peoples, as well as to the ecology and economics of working forest lands, interest is growing in applying similar protection measures to ash growing in rural, forested settings.
