Congrats to Ellen Crocker University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton CAFE for Kentucky Division of Forestry funding to study laurel wilt disease. Ellen Crocker Kentucky EEC

We just wrapped up our Forest Health Training on Invasive species and new technologies. Thanks to the wonderful speakers, attendees, and to NIFA for your funding support! One highlight was HealthyWoods, an app Ellen Crocker co-created healthywoodsapp.org

Great time learning about mushroom cultivation with my forest health students. Hands-on learning from great woodland stewards = amazing educational opportunity (not to mention fun!)

Invasive plants are a pain! This spring we partnered with the UK Arboretum University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton CAFE to teach students about invasives and manage them. Wintercreeper, callery pear, lesser celandine, and more! news.ca.uky.edu/article/invasi…

Can't say I'm particularly excited about "spongy moth" but I like the fact that names are being revisited. More realistically, as an Extension professional, I'll probably be talking about "the insect formerly known as gypsy moth" for a while 😂

This time of year (dormancy) is a good window for managing woody invasive plants like bush honeysuckle with a cut-stump herbicide application. That is, if you can dodge the winter storms and cold temps! Had a great time with Master Naturalists at this week’s weed wrangle
