Protecting our Trees and Forests:
What Happens When the Threat of Invasive Insects Becomes a Reality

Brown Bag Lunch

Tuesday, June 28, 2005, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.
The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society
100 N. 20th Street, 5th Floor Auditorium, Philadelphia, Pa.

The threat to our beloved Pennsylvania woods is imminent, but there is good news for us from the example of Chicago?s experience. This presentation, by Judy Antipin of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, will examine the case study: Chicago vs. the Asian Longhorned Beetle: A Portrait of Success. The case study offers a prototype for success to communities facing or planning for an invasive insect emergency. Bring a lunch; PHS will supply coffee and tea.

FREE but registration is required. Contact Carol Dutill at 215-988-8869.
