SUMMARY:ForestConnect Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Forest Tent Caterpillar – A Growing Concern. Robert Cole\, NYSDEC \nNovember 18\, 2026 \nPresentations at 12:00 to 1:00 PM and again at 7:00 to 8:00 PM (webinars may run long with questions) \nForest tent caterpillar (FTC) is a native insect that feeds on a variety of hardwood tree species\, including sugar maple. Aerial surveys detected almost 50\,000 acres of defoliation in the southern Catskills in 2026. During the last outbreak (2003-2010)\, FTC defoliated hundreds of thousands of acres and led to the decline and mortality of sugar maple stands across NY. This presentation will cover identification and life cycle of FTC\, current status\, and past outbreaks. Concerns with decline\, salvage\, aerial pesticide application\, and silviculture will be discussed. Attendees will learn how to survey for egg masses so they can predict defoliation on their own property and plan management accordingly. \nThe instructions below include the process for you to obtain your unique “registration id” for this month’s webinar.  Note that webinars are live at noon and 7PM\, for an hour each\, but the meeting space is reserved from noon until 8PM.  Your registration allows participation in either or both the noon and 7PM webinar\, and from any computer. \n SAF CFE credits have been requested or have been approved.  You are able to request CEU credit documentation via the registration link below.
