Bark Beetles Identification and Proper Tree Removal

Friday, May 22, 2026

This presentation is a general overview of the bark beetles found in Arizona. We will discuss both native and nonnative bark beetles found in Arizona; as well as go over the signs and symptoms associated with these beetles. By the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to more accurately identify bark beetle infestations and determine which beetle is the culprit. We will also review management options and discuss the cost share program the Department of Forestry and Fire Management is offering to private landowners.
