Courtney Johnson’s #AsianLonghornedBeetle project is off to a running start! Couldn’t have done it without the amazing help we got in the field! #foresthealth #invasivespecies

Got to give a presentation to a Forest Ecology class yesterday at UNC Asheville and check out some of their infested ash on campus. Thanks to Dr. Horton for having me!

[Courtney L Johnson @gall_leigh]

Had a great time!

Proud of our grad students who are sharing their research this week at the 31st USDA Interagency Research Forum on Invasive Species in Annapolis. Way to go, Courtney Johnson, Jon Kressuk, Kristin Hilborn, and Lauren Gonzalez! @gall_leigh @kressuk @KristinIrene_ @L_GonScience

Researchers in @NCSUExtForestry have new findings that could help scientists control the emerald ash borer. Learn how this pest completing its life cycle one year sooner in North Carolina than in northern states could have an impact. https://t.co/XHy5dRokTU

It’s the time of year when our hometown becomes a Hallmark movie. ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving!

[Courtney L Johnson @gall_leigh]

All those debarking days paid off! :) Glad I got to be a part of it and thankful to work with such great people!

New publication from @NCForestHealth! We characterize the seasonal timing of the emerald ash borer life cycle in the southern portion of its invasive range and discuss how this can inform biological control efforts to manage this forest pest.

@scissorsrunning Haha! Glad you found it! Hopefully there were no camera traps watching me thrash around in the leaves looking for mine 😅

[Courtney L Johnson @gall_leigh]

Field work was interesting this weekend. Lost my phone in the woods about 15 minutes after this video was taken but found it two days later. 😁

[Courtney L Johnson @gall_leigh]

@scissorsrunning @RobertJetton @kellbelle416 Committee field trip next time!😄

[Courtney L Johnson @gall_leigh]

I think I hit the research site jackpot! ⛰

[Courtney L Johnson @gall_leigh]

@RyanBoForest Just a little, but Garner is scenic in its own ways.😂 You did win a photo contest from it! 📸

[Society of American Foresters @foresters]

We are ashing you to please check your candy this year! We just found an emerald ash borer that carved his way out of this snickers 😔
