Sustainable Landscapes and Integrated Pest Management

New York State Integrated Pest Management 2023 Annual Conference

We learned how to create a more sustainable, environmentally friendly landscape while reducing the impacts of pests. Speakers provided insight and instruction on incorporating sustainability and trusted IPM strategies to create landscapes that combine ecological, climate and societal considerations to achieve a more beautiful space with less work.
