Invasive species of pests and disease are taking a toll on urban, rural and private forests throughout the country. In the U.S. North East, we have seen new infestations and afflictions as never before. Community managers tasked with preserving the vital resource in their charge are scrambling to protect trees, while home-owners are worried their property values may be negatively affected by tree loss due to invasive species.
Invasive species damage a tree's ability to feed itself. Slowing or preventing tree damage from pests and disease is a growing concern. While eradication of the pests is not feasible, there are steps landowners and forest managers can take to help protect valuable trees. A tree can now be injected with a chemical tailor made to combat many specific ailments and infestations. When trees are proactively treated, they stand a much better chance of survival, even under the most damaging of situations.
