Caused by a foliar nematode, BLD can weaken and eventually kill beech trees in forests and urban landscapes.

Join Dr. Kevin Chase of Bartlett Tree Experts to learn how and where BLD was first discovered, how it spreads, and what its impact may be on North American forests and urban landscapes. The presentation will also explore whether the latest research shows BLD can be controlled.
