Register for the Illinois First Detector Forest Pest Workshops
Early
detection and response is key to managing invasive pests.
The Illinois First Detector Workshops are aimed at improving
first-detector training and invasive species awareness.
Plan to attend these workshops focusing on
current and emerging invasive forest pests in Illinois. Each
location will have sessions devoted to the emerald ash
borer, thousand cankers disease, and invasive plants. In-depth
training sessions will highlight identification, symptoms,
management, and much more!
