Description

SLF: Threats and Management Strategies - Mark Ware, Rainbow Tree Care Scientific

Spotted Lanternfly (SLF) has expanded across the country since it was first discovered in 2014 in eastern PA. In 2022, it was found as far west as Iowa and as far south as North Carolina. With this expansion, it has become crucial for communities, tree care, landscape, and pest management professionals to be ready to protect their clients’ and constituents’ plants and property. This webinar will provide an introductory background on Spotted Lanternfly, its life cycle, biology, behavior, and management solutions. We will also discuss existing research and the available tools to protect trees and plants in the urban environment. See what key data an adjuster needs from an arborist to process a claim. Watch application of techniques an arborist can use to inventory trees that have been completely obliterated. And learn how insurance policies and coverage affect the way the consultant arborist should collect data in the field.
