Join Ian Jochems of PHA and Dr. Beth Brantley, Josh Maloney, and Mitch Oswald of Bartlett Tree Experts for a discussion of the latest information and data on Southern Pine Beetle and Beech Leaf Disease. Learn what options you, as a homeowner or a professional, have to help in the fight against these two pests. The presentation will be followed by a tour of the Arboretum to review the treatments PHA has performed over the past 3 years and how those trees are performing today.
