Annual Meeting and Program: Good Bug or Bad Bug featuring Mark Kokinchak
June 5 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
The NCBL will get a taste of the New York Botanical Garden during our June 5th program. Horticulturist, arborist, and instructor Mark Kokinchak will present a preview of the classes he teaches at NYBG on pest and disease management in gardens and landscapes.
Mark obtained a degree in Environmental Horticulture from UCONN and later trained with Bartlett Tree to monitor the first Integrated Pest Management Program in Danbury. In addition to teaching in the Horticulture Certificate Program at NYBG, he maintains insect and disease control systems at various wholesale nurseries across CT and holds a state-issued Custom Grounds 3A license and an Arborist 3D license.
In June, he will share some of his 35-plus years of knowledge about identifying and controlling pests and diseases using cultural and biological techniques to minimize the use of toxic alternatives.
You will want to come prepared to take notes!
The annual meeting is open to all members.
