Warming Temperatures and Invasive Pests Pose Threat to NH Trees

Now, New Hampshire's forrests face a threat from another non-native insect: The Southern Pine Beetle. On Monday, June 18, the Exchange discusses the these two wood-boring beetles and their impact on New Hampshire, how they got here, and what we can do to fight back.

GUESTS:

  • Matthew Ayres - Professor of Biological Sciences at Dartmouth; Associate Director, Institute of Arctic Studies; Chair Graduate Program in Ecology, Evolution, Ecosystems & Society
  • Jeff Garnas - Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment at UNH
