Tree Pandemics—The Changing Face Of The Eastern US Forest
Speaker: Carole MacMullan, Master Gardener Extension Volunteer
Sunday, November 3rd, 2024 (Note: on this date, daylight saving time ends)
3:00pm EDT
In this presentation, North Fulton Master Gardener Carole MacMullan will step back in time and compare the Eastern US of 1900 to the present and ever-changing forest of the 21st century. Unfortunately, our forests over the past 100 years have been severely impacted by the introduction of plant diseases brought into the US as a result of the rapid growth of global trade. Some of these plant diseases were introduced by diseased plant materials and other by insects that hitchhiked on international transported goods. Some of the diseases that will be discussed are: Chestnut Blight, Dutch Elm Disease, Pine Beetle Disease, Emerald Ash Borer, Hemlock Woolly adelgid and Dogwood anthracnose.
