Subject: Forum
Description: The USDA Forest Service is organizing a National Forum for Biological Control in Natural Areas Conference in partnership with NAISMA and the National Association of State Foresters. The meeting will focus on both weed and arthropod biocontrol and will be a venue for all biocontrol practitioners, researchers, and policy makers to come together to address the shared challenges (i.e., communication, capacity, changing landscapes) and opportunities that exist in this area. The meeting themes are centered around biocontrol research, management, and impacts in natural areas.

Subject: Webinar
Description: The American elm (Ulmus americana) was once a common street tree, but populations have been depleted by Dutch elm disease. Ash species (Fraxinus) have suffered losses from emerald ash borer. The American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was once the largest tree in eastern North America and nicknamed “the redwood of the East,” but now mostly grows as a shrub due to the introduction of chestnut blight. Will there ever be a chance of returning iconic tree species to the landscape for future generations? That’s the goal of resistance breeding in forest trees. In this webinar, Dr. Carrie Pike will discuss the process and importance of breeding trees for pest resistance.
