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.

@PileLauren @usfs_nrs @JS_Fraser @ConnorDCrouch @DacodaMaddox This is so good!

@ottawavalleywx No, damage isn’t at a level that would warrant management in this case

New #EmeraldAshBorer paper out now (open access) in @AFEntomology, led by Dr. Christy Nalepa with Dr. Kelly Oten and me. This paper investigates differences in EAB body size across years, trapping/sampling methods, and sites of varying elevation. https://t.co/w8f375pYNd

Check out our paper on the new #invasive elm zigzag sawfly, published last week in the Journal of Integrated Pest Management. It has a fascinating feeding pattern and is moving around quickly, found in 5 states in 2 years. https://t.co/urUSg2llAo

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

Had a great field day last week learning Wetland Delineation 101 (soils, hydrology, and veg) and enjoying some bottomland hardwood magic

What do you call them, fireflies or lightning bugs? 🔥🪲⚡️

As it turns out, the little luminaries are not flies or bugs at all. In this episode of Homegrown, we asked the NC State expert to shed some light on our favorite bright beetle.

Congratulations to our very own Dr. Kelly Oten @kellbelle416 who received the 2022 NCSU Outstanding Extension Award and induction into the NCSU Academy of Outstanding Faculty in Extension and Engagement! Well-deserved honors, and all of us @NCForestHealth are so proud.

The green area is where alligators can be found in North Carolina.

In other words...the further you go into the green area, the higher probability of one seeing you later.

One year ago today: Planting Fraser fir seedlings at the Upper Mountain Research Station with the @NCForestHealth crew. Great memories!

[NC State College of Natural Resources @NCStateCNR]

A popular program launched last year is returning to raise awareness about the spread of the Bradford pear trees’ invasive offspring in NC. Dr. Kelly Oten (@kellbelle416) talks about the success of the Bradford Pear Bounty program and future plans. ➡️ https://t.co/oJQcicEbrT

@MOsilviculture @TrishaMarkus Thank you! It was so great meeting and talking to you and all of the Missouri students

[Ryan Bohannon @RyanBoForest]

Had a great experience at the Biennial Southern Silvicultural Research Conference in Nacogdoches last week learning and presenting our lab’s research alongside @TrishaMarkus. Honored to have received an award for outstanding graduate student poster!

The BSSRC field tour was also a really cool opportunity to learn about forest management and research in East Texas
