SUMMARY:Stewardship Series: Detecting Emerald Ash Borer in Greater Vancouver
DESCRIPTION:Location: Virtual (via Zoom) \n\n\n\nRegistration: click here to register \n\n\n\nSummary: \n\n\n\nIn this virtual presentation\, which is part of the ISCMV & Stanley Park Ecology Stewardship Series\, Troy Kimoto will provide an introduction to emerald ash borer\, including native and introduced distribution\, hosts\, signs/symptoms\, and impacts. He will also discuss the detection of this invasive wood borer in the Vancouver area via branch sampling. The pros\, cons\, and lessons learned about branch sampling will also be discussed. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: \n\n\n\nIn the late 90s\, Troy Kimoto did his Masters of Pest Management at Simon Fraser University in forest entomology\, followed by 2 years of employment within the forest health industry. He started working for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in 2001 and has been in his current role as Plant Health Survey Biologist since 2002. In July of that year\, Troy met his career nemesis when the emerald ash borer was discovered in Canada for the 1st time in Windsor\, Ontario. Since then\, the elusiveness of detecting EAB has shaped how he develops survey procedures for invasive pests. As a survey biologist\, Troy’s responsibilities include: developing survey procedures for plant pests; survey planning and training; providing scientific support to CFIA staff and external stakeholders; coordinating invasive species research within Canada and overseas; and producing outreach products for regulated plant pests. \n\n\n\nPhoto Credit: Debbie Miller\, USDA Forest Service\, Bugworld.org
