This one-day course will be of use to anyone interested in managing laminated root rot (LRR; caused by the pathogen Phellinus sulphurascens) in urban forests or timber production areas of the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. This course occurs within the setting of an urban coastal Douglas-fir forest where LRR has been managed for over the past 20+ years using several leading-edge approaches.
The intent of the course is to provide arborists and foresters alike with a comprehensive understanding of:
1. The most current information on the signs/symptoms of LRR as well as the biology of the causal pathogen, and,
2. Techniques on how to best detect, assess and manage long-term LRR impacts in the context of an urban forest as well as other land management situations.
3. Basic approaches to assist in the risk assessment of trees within forests prone to laminated root impacts.
