How To Use This Presentation This pest-specific presentation is one of 14 presentations, each of which focuses on a specific, non-native invasive tree pest or disease. This presentation can be used in a variety of settings – volunteer workshops, professional trainings, classroom lessons, and others. The format and content on these slides is designed to be presented by, and presented to, people with varying degrees of familiarity with trees or tree-related insects/diseases. You can deliver an individual presentation or combination of presentations in the series depending on your presentation goals, audience and duration. Some examples: 1.Deliver one of these presentations for a brief workshop on how to spot the signs of a high-risk pest or disease in your area 2.Combine several presentations to create a single regional forest pest/ disease workshop 3.Host a series of weekly or monthly workshops where each workshop focuses on a particular pest relevant to your area, and the applicable pest-specific presentation is shared (Continued on next slide)

The next slide contains a table indicating which of the fourteen pests threatens the eastern and western halves of the country. Use the table to help you choose the individual pest-specific presentation, or a combination of presentations that is most appropriate to your location, and for your needs.
