Tuesday, June 9 Introduction, Citizen Science, Beech leaf disease

Thursday, June 11 Spotted lanternfly (SLF)

Tuesday, June 16 Jumping worms

Thursday, June 18 iMapInvasives, Call to Action.

Help survey the Hudson Valley Region for new invasive pests and diseases.

Reports of invasives newly detected in New York are causing great concern; Spotted lanternfly (SLF), Beech leaf disease (BLD) and Jumping Worms. Scouting for these pests, reporting their presence and stopping their spread are urgent needs. You can help.

This series of workshops will prepare individuals such as gardeners, hikers, landscapers and forest managers to scout for these pests. Training will include identification, potential damage, methods of spread, monitoring and management of the pests and disease. Trainees will be asked to be “boots on the ground” to assist in the detection of the pests and to report them using the NYS DEC iMapInvasives mobile application.

CCE Dutchess County will deliver the training via Zoom, 9:30 – 11:00. Click here to register for the series.

This program is part of the Lower Hudson Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management’s efforts to stop the spread of invasive species in the Lower Hudson Valley.
