Enjoy spending time outdoors? Concerned about the health of Vermont’s forests? Then we need YOUR help! Come volunteer as a Forest Pest First Detector. A FREE training will take place on Tuesday, April 18th from 9:30 am- 2:30 pm at the Waterbury Municipal Office.

We are training volunteers to:
(1) inform the public about the tangible threat Vermont’s primary pests (namely the Asian longhorned beetle, emerald ash borer, and hemlock woolly adelgid) pose,
(2) prepare their communities for a response in the event of an infestation, and
(3) screen potential pest sightings.

The training is free, but we do ask that you RSVP to Gwen at Gwen.kozlowski@UVM.edu or 802-651-8343.
