SUMMARY:Winter Moth: A New Invasion of New England
DESCRIPTION:Joseph S. Elkinton\nProfessor of Entomology\, UMass Amherst\n\n
 With the winter moth now invading New England's trees\, attention is being
  given to long-term monitoring of its life stages and how to control the s
 pread of this leaf-feeding pest. The December 2009 counts suggest that thi
 s spring the larvae will be at the highest population on record. Now more 
 than ever we need to focus on ways to eliminate this new pest that is inva
 ding New England's trees.\n\nJoin Dr. Joe Elkinton of the UMASS Amherst En
 tomology Department on Monday\, March 15 at 7:00 pm when he will give a pr
 ogram called Winter Moth: A New Invasion of New England. Dr Elkinton\, who
  has recruited Mother Nature in building a "dream team" to fight the winte
 r moth\, has been working on non-toxic control measures of this forest pes
 t since 2005 and will describe efforts underway to establish a highly spec
 ialized natural enemy that attacks only winter moth caterpillars. Dr. Elki
 nton will also describe ways to protect other ornamental trees.Dr. Elkinto
 n's research focuses on the population dynamics of forest insects and usin
 g natural predators to manage pests. Much of his work has focused on the s
 tudy of enemies of the gypsy moth. More recently Dr. Elkinton's research h
 as focused on enemies of the woolly adelgid which destroys hemlocks. Dr. E
 lkinton is the author of numerous articles and books on entomology and for
 est ecology.\n\nLecture handout 1\n\nLecture handout 2\n\nThis event is co
 -sponsored by the Newton Conservators\, the Newton Tree Conservancy\, Gree
 n Decade/Newton\, Newton Community Farm\, Friends of Hemlock Gorge\, and t
 he Newton Free Library.
