Next Program: Thursday, September 21st | 7-8:30PM

Join us on Thursday, September 21st at 7pm for the “Backyard Forestry in 90 Minutes” online program, “Beech Leaf Disease: what’s at stake in NJ & strategies to mitigate impacts” with Jean Epiphan, Agriculture & Natural Resources County Agent III, Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Morris County

This presentation covers the ecology of beech, their importance in NJ, and what attributes and ecological services are under threat. The basic pathogenesis of Beech Leaf Disease (BLD) will be reviewed. Then, most importantly, the talk focuses on steps land managers can make to mitigate negative impacts of BLD: including treatment options with pesticides, cultural practices to reduce stress in beech trees, and vital steps to prepare for losses of beech canopy including mass underplanting of indigenous tree cohorts and their management for success.
