This bug is not getting away!!

To keep all our members informed, we'll create pages like this one for the minutes of our meetings. We'll change the title of each of these pages to reflect the date of the meeting.

We might use a format similar to this one for meeting minutes.

May 18, 2009 Meeting

Markelle Smith

Western Massachusetts

Land Protection Specialist

The Nature Conservancy

 

The speaker at our May 18, 2009 meeting was Markelle Smith.  Markelle is a Western Massachusetts Land Protection Specialist, with the Nature Conservancy.  Markelle gave a very interesting presentation about an invasive insect which has become a severe problem in the Worcester Area.  The Asian Longhorned Beetle is a very destructive insect with no natural enemies in North America.  Markelle provided a link to inform us about this destructive insect. 
*** It is very important to report sighting of this insect. *** 
Take a picture or capture a specimen to verify the sighting.  What ever you do, do not transport this insect to other areas.
