Stress Re-leaf: Saving Trees from Climate Burnout
Advertisement
Trees may not have a mortgage or rent to pay, or bosses to report to at work, but they still can experience stress. That stress increases and intensifies in response to our changing climate, as they struggle to survive extreme weather and other disruptions and disturbances, like insect pests and pathogens—all while their habitats continue to inch toward the edge of habitability. Our presenter will talk about how our Oregon forests are impacted by climate change, with implications for landscape trees; share current research happening in the OSU College of Forestry; and suggest options for caring for stressed trees in your woodland or landscape.
Presenter: Dan Stark (he/him) is the OSU Forestry and Natural Resources Extension Forester serving the north coast of Oregon, from Lincoln on up to Clatsop. His outreach and education focuses on several forest health-related topics, including forest insect and disease ecology and management, invasive insects and pathogens, and wildland and prescribed fire.

About Growing Oregon Gardeners: Level Up Series
This monthly zoom series offers education for the experienced gardener. This year’s Growing Oregon Gardeners: Level Up series is about growing resilience in a changing climate. We’re digging deep into the science behind invasive pests, best techniques in using less water, understanding what changes our trees are enduring, and harnessing the power of technology to identify and learn more about plants and insects. In partnership with Garden Future, we’re talking and learning about growing resilience in our gardens and communities. The closed-captioned webinars will be broadcast via Zoom and streamed via our Facebook page the second Tuesday of the month, at noon, April through September 2025. This series is open to the public, and OSU Extension Master Gardener volunteers receive 1 Continuing Education Credit for each class. You can take one, or take all. This webinar is being recorded and will be available to view on our website within two weeks of airdate.
