Insects and Diseases Affecting Native Oaks In Southern California

Location: Nature Conservancy Santa Rosa Plateau Reserve 39400 Clinton Keith Road, Murrieta, CA

Co-Sponsored by the Northern & Southern California Society of American Foresters, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, University of California, Cooperative Extension, and California Forest Pest Council

There is considerable concern about the goldspotted oak borer and other pathogens and insects that are currently attacking and causing mortality among the oaks of southern California. Land managers, arborists, foresters and landowners who are responsible for the stewardship of oaks and oak woodlands should be up to date on the latest information about the problems and how to avoid or minimize losses.

This workshop has been organized to provide the best available information on the following topics: Cause and extent of oak mortality and affected areas; identification and assessment; and management practices for oak woodland restoration and resiliency.
