California’s forests and urban landscapes face growing threats from invasive tree pests like beetles and fungi, which have already killed hundreds of thousands of trees across the state. Join forestry expert Beatriz Nobua-Behrmann for an educational webinar exploring important invasive pests that impact California’s trees. Learn how to identify these pests and the damage they cause, and hear about current management and prevention efforts.

UC IPM’s new Invasive Species Mini-Series explores the many ways invasive species impact our lives, from harmful garden pests and aquatic hitchhikers to destructive tree pests, invasive weeds, and the policies that guide prevention and response.  

Join them from 11 am–noon on the first Wednesday of each month to learn about invasive pests and their impacts in California. The series is free and open to the public, but advance registration is required. All webinars will be recorded and posted to their YouTube channel in case you miss one!
