Emerald Ash Borer Awareness Week Webinar Series: EAB from crisis to opportunity: managing & growing a resilient urban forest in Minneapolis, MN

Presentation by: Philip Potyondy, Smart Tree Management Practice Lead, Davey Resource Group, Inc

The loss of ash trees to Emerald Ash Borer was a major opportunity to establish a more diverse and resilient urban forest.  This generational opportunity was not squandered.  Learn how Minneapolis used thoughtful, deliberate, multi-scaled tree selection guidelines to select a diverse mix of trees, even with considerations for future forest pests and a changing climate. Philip will also share a few key takeaways while managing the spread of EAB and also about a few new technologies for monitoring the urban forest and assisting with tree selection
