Learn about the Bark Beetle killing all of our trees

Forest Health Speaker Series - August 5th, 2014, 6 - 7:30pm Room 103 ENMU-Ruidoso

Dr. Carol Sutherland, Extension Entomologist at NMSU and New Mexico State Entomologist will speak on bark beetles during the monthly Forest Health series at ENMU-Ruidoso. She will discuss the habits and misconceptions concerning the beetles including their part in our pine tree die-off, whether they can invade homes and what to do about them. The talk will take place Tuesday, August 5 from 6:00 to 7:30 pm in Room 103 and is free and open to the public.

The talk is a collaborative outreach effort between USFS, Lincoln National Forest, NM State Forestry, Village of Ruidoso Forestry, Lincoln County, SCMRC & DC, Mescalero/BIA, Little Bear Forest Reform Coalition, ENMU-Ruidoso Community Education and private citizens. The purpose of the program is to offer objective and scientific information to the residents of Lincoln County by local experts. Time is allotted for questions after the presentation and complimentary handouts are available on various topics in the foyer of the college.

Ordinarily, area restaurants donate food, but this time, members of the coalition will be bringing snacks and light entrees for attendees. Anyone wishing to may bring food, but it is not required. Registration is requested, however, and may be made by calling ENMU-Ruidoso Community Education at 257-3012.
