USDA’s International Beech Leaf Disease Workshop

Registration is now open for the 2nd International Beech Leaf Disease Workshop. This will be a virtual meeting held on April 15th via Adobe Connect. We expect to have a wide variety of presenters, including University partners, State and Federal agencies, and private agencies. We will discuss current research results, recent survey and monitoring work, and future projects. 

This workshop gathers forest health experts from the United States and Canada to share information regarding Beech Leaf Disease (BLD), an emerging pest of American beech. Throughout the day, thirteen presentations will be shared on topics of BLD epidemiology, distribution, control, and research efforts. Registered attendees can earn continuing educations credits for the Society of American Foresters (SAF) and the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) for participating in the workshop.
