DCIST Welcomes Forest Health Specialist

Door County Invasive Species Team (DCIST) will host Linda Williams, a Forest Health Specialist with the Wisconsin DNR, for the April public meeting. Williams’ presentation will focus on last year’s weather events, specifically the drought and heat, and how it has impacted (and will continue to affect) trees and forests.

The presentation includes a discussion on insect pests that caused problems last year, the impacts of weather on forest pests and what can be expected in the future.

Williams has been in her position with the WDNR for 13 years. She helps foresters and landowners in 13 Wisconsin counties identify insect and disease problems and abiotic (non-living) problems.

The presentation is scheduled for April 17, 2 pm, at Crossroads at Big Creek in Sturgeon Bay.
