If you are interested and can spare an hour in your day on Monday, May 3rd or May 10th, please join LA County’s Agricultural Commissioner Weights and Measures for a seminar on the invasive shot hole borer beetle, which is, unfortunately, attacking many of our trees in Southern California.

Learn how to identify the beetle and how to stop the spread! Details are below and attached.

Protect Your Trees from the Invasive Shot Hole Borer Beetle

The non-native, Invasive Shothole Borer (ISHB) is found throughout Los Angeles and Ventura Counties and is killing numbers of native and non-native trees. Are they in your backyard trees and neighborhood parks?

Made for homeowners, this easy, online, and one-hour training will teach you what to look for in your trees and steps you can take to prevent the beetles from spreading. The same training will be offered twice. To learn more NOW, go to ISHB.org.

Please join us on May 3rd from 2pm to 3pm and May 10th from 2pm to 3pm. Both dates will consist of the same information.
