Frontiers in Forest Health: Oystershell Scale
February 17, 2026 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am
ABOUT THE LIVE WEBINAR
Oystershell scale (Lepidosaphes ulmi) is an invasive insect capable of infesting more than 130 plant species, posing a serious challenge in arboriculture, urban landscapes, and—most critically—the forests of the Western United States, where it threatens the health and survival of aspen (Populus tremuloides). This webinar will share current research on oystershell scale, explore the insect’s growing impact on western ecosystems, and outline management strategies designed to help protect vulnerable forests from this high-impact pest.
