Looking to learn more about insects and diseases that affect our landscapes?

The Morton Arboretum will be offering a class - a great opportunity for newer arborists and tree lovers to learn more about insects and diseases that plague our area -- and a good review for established foresters too!

Learn to recognize plant problems through observing the life-cycles, signs, and symptoms of the most common pests and diseases in our landscapes. Get up-to-date information on pest control methods, including the use of beneficial insects and integrated pest management, through lecture, discussion, lab work, and a field trip.

Instructor:  Donna Danielson, M.S., Plant Clinic Assistant, The Morton Arboretum
