Chewers, Borers and Tiny Suckers – Invasive Forest Pests in Michigan
Wednesday April 15, 2026, 1:30 pm, MSUFCU Mt. Hope Branch
Michigan forests continue to be affected by an array of non-native insects, including species that feed on leaves, suck sap or bore into tree branches and trunks. Some of these pests may be familiar, while others are new to most of us. We will cover general issues associated with invasive forest pests (Where did they come from? How did they get here?) - then focus on a few species with notable impacts in Michigan and beyond.
This lecture starts at 1:30 pm, earlier than the usual 2:00 pm.
