[HubbardBrook] Are lingering ash resistant to EAB or just lucky?

[Matthew P. Ayres]

Hi Hubbard Brook,
Some of you could be interested in this workshop next week that will contribute to understanding the genetic susceptibility of American ash to Emerald Ash Borer.
Best wishes,
Matt

Workshop: How to help find lingering ash for EAB resistance breeding, August 16, Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest
Friday, August 16, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, US Forestry Department, 234 Mirror Lake Rd, North Woodstock, NH 03262

Although emerald ash borer (EAB) typically kills nearly 100% of mature trees of the widespread northeastern native ash species, a small percentage not only survive, but remain healthy years after the rest of those nearby have been killed. These trees, found for every widespread Northeastern species, are known as "lingering ash" and can be used to breed resistant native ash, providing great hope for ash conservation. Finding lingering ash requires looking in the right places at the right times.

The Monitoring and Managing Ash (MaMA) program, developed and led by the Ecological Research Institute (ERI), achieves this by enabling citizen scientists and land managers to collect the needed scientific data, while also promoting management practices that facilitate rather than inhibit lingering ash detection. MaMA has already achieved detection of over 100 lingering ash, furnishing material for resistance breeding at Cornell University. MaMA features prominently in the Trees in Peril collaborative initiative led by The Nature Conservancy in collaboration with the US Forest Service.

In this workshop, presented by the MaMA program leaders, Jonathan Rosenthal and Dr. Radka Wildova of ERI, you'll learn how to collect needed data and also how to incorporate lingering ash detection into management strategies. It will include establishing a monitoring plot in the "ash cathedral" at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest.
