Cornell Extension to Host Emerald Ash Borer Class for Woodland Owners

This August, the emerald ash borer (EAB) was confirmed in both St. Lawrence and Franklin counties. Now that we know EAB is here, it is important to get sound information on ways to manage it in wooded environments. Owners of wooded lands of any acreage are encouraged to attend an EAB class led by representatives from Region 6 NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, and NYS Agriculture and Markets. The class will be held on November 1, 2017 from 5:45 PM to 8:00 PM at the Cornell Cooperative Extension Learning Farm, 2043 State Route 68, Canton. The class is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is requested. To register, or for more information, call Paul Hetzler at (315) 379-9192 ext. 232, or email [email protected].
