Asian Longhorned Beetle Tree Surveys

Help combat the Asian Longhorned Beetle before it takes out all our trees!

Springfield - Monday, Nov. 9th, 12pm-1:30pm Meet at Mom and Rico’s, 899 Main St., Springfield, MA

These are both street tree surveys. We'll provide the training and supplies, including binoculars (or bring 'em if you have 'em!). You'll bring comfortable walking shoes, maybe some water, and sharp eyes :-).

The Mass. Dept. of Agricultural Resources recently released a free ALB tree guide. The guide prints on a single page (double-sided) and is ideal for volunteers participating in ALB tree surveys: http://bit.ly/1oJe5d

Smithsonian Magazine has published a comprehensive article about the Asian longhorned beetle infestation in Worcester: http://bit.ly/249VNe
