[CANUFNET] Public concerns regarding Aphids

[Sandy M. Smith]

Craig/All....
The City of Toronto has had fact sheets on their website for many years now...probably could be updated in places but here is the link for a start. http://www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/contentonly?vgnextoid=1578842971e5a410VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD

I am biased, but I think every city should have something accessible like this for the public.
Each year in my Stresses in the Forest Environment graduate course, students are required to prepare an individual fact sheet on a selected pest or stress factor that affect trees, esp urban trees.

If you send me a list of urban forest challenges that you face (biotic or abiotic) I could get some good ones prepared (and edited by me) by next March (free of charge!).
Best... Sandy

Subject: [CANUFNET] Public concerns regarding Aphids




I would like to ask for some advice from as it pertains to the management of Aphids populating City trees and how Municipalities respond to the public to address the concerns that are a result of the honeydew? After the extended dry and hot summer we experienced last year we have had a real increase in the public’s concern of Aphids with the most susceptible trees being Linden, Tulip Trees and Red Oak. As a result our Parks Management team has requested that we put together an informative fact sheet to provide the public that explains the life cycle of Aphids , our maintenance procedures as it relates to IPM and city by-laws, as well as the benefits of using beneficial insects to achieve acceptable thresholds.

If some of you could share any information or strategies used it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Craig Bench
