Plant Healthcare Workshop
– Dangerous Pests

Are you a volunteer or greenspace steward ready to take action to protect our local plants and ecosystems? Since 2022, the American Public Gardens Association’s** Plant Protection Program** has helped train hundreds of volunteers and professionals to detect and respond to regulated plant pests in public gardens and surrounding communities. These insects pose a threat to species of Atlanta’s urban forest, causing significant ecological and economic impact: emerald ash borer, Asian longhorn beetle, box tree moth. Join the American Public Gardens Association, University of Georgia Extension, and Trees Atlanta for a special training on how to recognize, monitor, and manage this threat to trees.
