Thursday, December 12 - 10 am – 12 noon. Huddart County Park, 1100 Kings Mountain Rd., Woodside, CA
(see directions) - This is a 2-hour field workshop to demonstrate treatment methods used to prevent Sudden Oak Death (SOD).
- Speaker:
Dr. Matteo Garbelotto, UCCE Specialist in Forest Pathology and Mycology, UC Berkeley. Dr. Garbelotto has conducted much of the research on SOD treatments and will share his findings. For the text of his study on SOD treatments, see Arboriculture and Urban Forestry, Vol. 33, No. 5 (2007).
- Rationale:
SOD cases have increased in the past year and more oaks are being considered for treatment. For treatments to be effective, a number of factors need to be considered. This workshop will address these factors and demonstrate application techniques in an outdoor setting.
