Tree Pests and Pathogens

April 21, 2025
Pests and pathogens are ubiquitous in Connecticut woods, but their impacts vary greatly. Frank Cervo, State of Connecticut service forester for our region, will discuss some of the most significant insects, fungi, and diseases plaguing our forests on Thursday, May 8 at 6:30 p.m. at The Connecticut Audubon Society (CAS) Center at Pomfret, 218 Day Road. Presented in collaboration with the Eastern Connecticut Forest Landowners Association (ECFLA), admission is free for CAS and ECFLA members and $5.00 for non-members. Registration is requested (call 860-928-4948). The Society’s interest in the forest ecosystem is explained by its mission to protect birds and other wildlife and to conserve habitats. It’s in the trees that the lives of birds and those of insect pests intersect. Read more.
