Emerald-Ash-Borer-Workshop-Flyer-Июнь-2025
Join us for a hands-on, informative workshop focused on emerald ash borer (EAB), an invasive pest threatening ash trees in Oregon. Participants will gain valuable knowledge on EAB identification, effective reporting methods, and management options. This workshop will also include practical learning rotations where attendees will explore various aspects of EAB detection and control through interactive stations, expert demonstrations, and discussions.
This workshop is hosted in partnership between OSU Extension – Clackamas County, Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District, and the Oregon Department of Forestry. Participants do not need to be located in Clackamas County. Please note this workshop will be most relevant for small woodland owners.
We will start with a welcome and introduction covering the history of EAB in the United States and Oregon, EAB Biology, resources and maps. Next, attendees will be broken into small groups to work through three hands-on learning stations. The learning stations will focus on identification (EAB, look-a-likes, and biocontrol), reporting (healthy ash and suspected infestations), and weighing management options (including a tree injection demonstration, what to do with wood waste, and don’t move firewood principles).
Coffee, hot water, and snacks will be available. Please bring appropriate outdoor clothing and footwear.
This workshop will involve periods of sitting, standing, and walking across areas of potentially uneven terrain to access learning stations. If you have any questions about the format, or if you require any accommodations to participate, please contact Jean Bremer at 503-655-8631 or [email protected]
