Knox County: Emerald Ash Borer Management Program

When
04/15/2013
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Location
180 S. Soangetaha Road, Galesburg

The presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) has been confirmed for Knox County. EAB is a devastating exotic pest that attacks one of the most popular landscape trees in America, the ash tree. Unlike most native borers which only target dead or dying trees, EAB preys on healthy ash trees.

In response to this announcement the University of Illinois Extension will host an EAB workshop on Monday, April 15, 2013, 10-2:00 pm at the Knox Agri Center in Galesburg. Specialist from around the state will be available to inform homeowners, municipalities, and businesses what this means for Knox County and how you can protect and slow the spread of this voracious insect.

Registration is required by April 11. Lunch is provided to those who register.
