The fall cankerworm, Alsophila pometaria, is a moth native to North America whose caterpillars are commonly called inchworms. While this defoliator generally remains at low abundances, occasional outbreaks may occur. Defoliation rarely hurts the tree, but may act as a stress agent if prolonged outbreaks occur. This webinar will cover the biology and ecology of cankerworms, as well as management strategies. Management in urban areas as well as in rural areas will be covered. Continue reading

Dr. David Coyle
Dr. David Coyle is working with Dr. William Hubbard and the Southern Regional Extension Forestry (SREF) group to develop a Forest Health and Invasive Species Education Program. This program was initiated under the auspices of SREF, the University of Georgia’s D.B. Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, and the USDA Forest Service. David is working to create materials for extension education for southern forest health, primarily focusing on non-native plants, insects, and pathogens, and pine stand management to mitigate potential insect and disease issues.
