Good news from the greenway...

 William and Dr. Mayfield shooting ropes into a walnut tree in order to hang insect traps.

I want to introduce everyone to our young colleague William, a boy scout from the Asheville area.  William just won several awards at a local science fair for some work he collaborated with Dr. Mayfield on this past summer.

Here are excerpts from his science fair presentation:








Good work William!  We are glad you didn't find any Pityophthorus juglandis on our greenway.  Congratulations on your awards!
